PLOS ONE: Elevated Mortality among Birds in Chernobyl as Judged from Skewed Age and Sex Ratios

Submitted by RIJS on
Item Description
Radiation has negative effects on survival of animals including humans, although the generality of this claim is poorly documented under low-dose field conditions. Because females may suffer disproportionately from the effects of radiation on survival due to differences in sex roles during reproduction, radiation-induced mortality may result in male-skewed adult sex ratios.
