Non-metric variation in red vole populations within the East-Ural Radioactive Track (EURT) zone - Vasilyev, A. G.; Vasilyeva, I. A. (1995)
Ecological monitoring of red vole Clethrionomys rutilus (Pallas, 1778) populations, carried out for two years (1992-1993) in the Sverdlovsk region near Kamens-Ural'ski, revealed an increase of morphological diversity in terms of non-metric skull traits along the axis of the East-Ural Radioactive Track (EURT). In the population affected by radioactive contamination, frequencies of non-metric skull traits deviated significantly fron those in two control populations located beyond the EURT boundaries. The deviations were not related to particular environmental factors varying among the years of our study, which implied a genetic basis of non-metric differentiation. We suggest that the observed increase of phenotypic malformations within the EURT zone has been caused by the permanent impact of low does of radioactive contamination, leading to an accumulation of minor mutations and to disurbances in regular ontogenetic development of the red vole.

Studies on the European hare. XVIII. Effect of keeping European hares in transport cages - Mazurkiewicz, M. (1968)
Trzy grupy zajęcy liczące 30, 29 i 19 osobników przetrzymywano przez 30 dni w klatkach transportowych. Zastosowano dwie standardowe diety (buraki pastewne + siano łąkowe i marchew ogrodowa + siano łąkowe). W trzeciej grupie trzymanej na drugiej diecie podawano dodatkowo Combelen 0,5 mg/kg co trzeci dzień w postaci iniekcji domięśniowych. Przeprowadzono badania: zmian ciężaru ciała, wskaźników fizjologicznych krwi (hematokrty, Hb, liczba leukocytów, OB), ilości dobowej i analizy podstawowej moczu oraz kondycji biegowej.
