A dog in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, 2017. The exact origin of the populations of dogs living in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (CNPP) and the surrounding areas of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is unknown. [1] However, it is hypothesized that these animals are the descendants of pets left behind during the original evacuation of Pripyat.
The study uncovered that the feral dogs living near the Chernobyl Power Plant showed distinct genetic differences from dogs living only some 10 miles away in nearby Chernobyl City.
When we think of the Chernobyl disaster, which occurred when a reactor of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded in 1986, we tend to consider the impact it had on humans.
Scientists are studying the dogs living around the Chernobyl disaster site in Ukraine. “They are primarily the descendants of the animals that were left behind at the time of the evacuation ...
The mutation rates among animals in the Chernobyl zone have been a topic of ongoing scientific debate, notably regarding the research conducted by Anders Moller and Timothy Mousseau. [ 204 ] [ 205 ] Their research, which suggests higher mutation rates among wildlife in the Chernobyl zone, has been met with criticism over the reproducibility of ...
Dogs portal; This article is within the scope of WikiProject Dogs, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of articles related to Canidae and commonly referred to as "dogs" and of which the domestic dog is but one of its many members, on Wikipedia.
By analysing the dogs’ DNA, the team identified 391 outlier regions in their genomes that differed between the two groups with some pointing to genetic repair after exposures similar to Chernobyl.
According to Chernobyl disaster liquidators, the radiation levels there are "well below the level across the zone", a fact that president of the Ukrainian Chernobyl Union Yury Andreyev considers miraculous. [35] The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone has been accessible to interested parties such as scientists and journalists since the zone was created.
