The stray dogs that roam the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone have become unlikely protagonists in a scientific debate about how life ...

Feral dogs living near Chernobyl differ genetically from their ancestors who survived the 1986 nuclear plant disaster—but these variations do not appear to stem from radioactivity-induced mutations.

Wild animals have free range around northern Ukraine’s Chernobyl nuclear plant, the site of the world’s worst nuclear accident, which spread radiation throughout the region in 1986. Studies have ...

Mutant wolves that roam the human-free Chernobyl Exclusion Zone have developed cancer-resilient genomes that could be key to helping humans fight the deadly disease, according to a study. The wild ...

The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ) has quickly become a 1,000 square-mile science experiment, as experts use the highly irradiated zone as a chance to understand animal biology placed under those ...

Are the dogs of Chernobyl evolving right in front of us? That's a question some scientists have been asking in new research that has been keeping tabs on the wild animals roaming around the Chernobyl ...

For nearly 40 years, the Chernobyl exclusion zone (CEZ) has been a laboratory for scientists to study the long-term effects of radiation exposure. One of the ongoing subjects in this unintentional ...

For decades, scientists have studied animals living in or near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant to see how increased levels of radiation affect their health, growth, and evolution. A study analyzed ...
