The few genetic studies that have been conducted in Chernobyl generally show elevated rates of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GeneticDamage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeneticDamage</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mutation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mutation</span></a> rates.

The differences observed between Fukushima and Chernobyl may reflect the different times of exposure and the significance of multigenerational mutation accumulation in Chernobyl compared to Fukushima. There was considerable variation among taxa in their apparent sensitivity to radiation and this reflects in part life history, physiology, behavior, and evolutionary history.
