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

The paper investigates the effects of ionizing radiation on age, telomere length, and corticosterone levels in Chornobyl tree frogs and finds no significant impact on age or telomere length, but a negative correlation with corticosterone levels.

The impact of chemical pollution across major life transitions: a meta-analysis on oxidative stress in amphibians

This study meta-analyzes the impact of chemical pollution on oxidative stress in amphibians across life stages, finding divergent antioxidant responses and oxidative damage post-metamorphosis.

Impact of ionizing radiation on the environmental microbiomes of Chernobyl wetlands

This study examines how ionizing radiation affects microbial communities in Chernobyl wetlands, finding that radiation influences beta diversity but not alpha diversity.

Assessment of exposure to ionizing radiation in Chernobyl tree frogs (Hyla orientalis)

This study assesses radiation exposure in Chernobyl tree frogs, finding internal exposure dominates and 90Sr is the main contributor, with doses generally below harmful thresholds.

Unusual evolution of tree frog populations in the Chernobyl exclusion zone

The paper examines genetic markers in Eastern tree frogs in the Chernobyl exclusion zone to study microevolutionary processes and mutation rates thirty years after the nuclear accident.

Telomere length covaries with age across an elevational gradient in a Mediterranean lizard

This study finds that telomere length in Algerian sand lizards increases with age and is influenced by elevation and body condition, but not sex or tail autotomy.
