Ionizing radiation has negligible effects on the age, telomere length and corticosterone levels of Chornobyl tree frogs

Our results suggest that radiation levels currently experienced by Chornobyl tree frogs may not be high enough to cause severe chronic damage to semi-aquatic vertebrates such as this species. This is the first study addressing age and stress hormones in Chornobyl wildlife, and thus future research will confirm if these results can be extended to other taxa. Leer más.
