| effects of environmental radiation on testes and spermatogenesis in wild large japanese field mice (apodemus speciosus) from fukushima. | the fukushima daiichi nuclear power plant (fdnpp) accident that occurred after the great east japan earthquake in march 2011 released large quantities of radionuclides to the environment. the long-term effects of radioactive cesium (cs) on biota are of particular concern. we investigated the accumulation of radioactive cs derived from the fdnpp accident, and chronic effects of environmental radionuclides on male reproduction, in the large japanese field mouse (apodemus speciosus). in 2013 and 20 ... | 2016 | 27005329 |
| estimation of absorbed radiation dose rates in wild rodents inhabiting a site severely contaminated by the fukushima dai-ichi nuclear power plant accident. | the dose rates of radiation absorbed by wild rodents inhabiting a site severely contaminated by the fukushima dai-ichi nuclear power plant accident were estimated. the large japanese field mouse (apodemus speciosus), also called the wood mouse, was the major rodent species captured in the sampling area, although other species of rodents, such as small field mice (apodemus argenteus) and japanese grass voles (microtus montebelli), were also collected. the external exposure of rodents calculated f ... | 2015 | 25666988 |
