Abstract: ► We studied the effect of radiation on macroinvertebrates in Chernobyl affected lakes. ► Abundance, taxon richness, Berger-Parker dominance, Shannon–Wiener diversity evaluated. ► No relationship between community indices or abundance and radiation at up to 30 μGy h⁻¹. ► Taxon richness varied in range 22–42: typical for uncontaminated lakes in the region. ► Natural environmental factors principal drivers of biotic assemblage structure
