TRansfer - Exposure – Effects (TREE): integrating the science needed to undperpin radioactivity assessments for humans and wildlife (Additional Funding Stream 3)

Measuring the radiation exposure of Norwegian reindeer under field conditions (2019)
Journal Article

Models and approaches have been developed to predict radiation exposure of wildlife under field conditions. However, there have been few attempts to directly measure radiation exposure of wildlife in the field and confirm the doses predicted by model...

A review of camera trapping for conservation behaviour research (2017)
Journal Article

An understanding of animal behaviour is important if conservation initiatives are to be effective. However, quantifying the behaviour of wild animals presents significant challenges. Remote-sensing camera traps are becoming increasingly popular surve... Read More about A review of camera trapping for conservation behaviour research.

Aquatic live animal radiotracing studies for ecotoxicological applications : addressing fundamental methodological deficiencies (2017)
Journal Article

The use of live animal gamma radioisotope tracer techniques in the field of ecotoxicology allows laboratory studies to accurately monitor contaminant biokinetics in real time for an individual organism. However, methods used in published studies for... Read More about Aquatic live animal radiotracing studies for ecotoxicological applications : addressing fundamental methodological deficiencies.

Do fungi need to be included within environmental radiation protection assessment models? (2017)
Journal Article

Fungi are used as biomonitors of forest ecosystems, having comparatively high uptakes of anthropogenic and naturally occurring radionuclides. However, whilst they are known to accumulate radionuclides they are not typically considered in radiological...

The transfer of 137Cs, Pu isotopes and 90Sr to bird, bat and ground-dwelling small mammal species within the Chernobyl exclusion zone (2016)
Journal Article

Protected species are the focus of many radiological environmental assessments.
However, the lack of radioecological data for many protected species presents a
significant international challenge. Furthermore, there are legislative restrictions on... Read More about The transfer of 137Cs, Pu isotopes and 90Sr to bird, bat and ground-dwelling small mammal species within the Chernobyl exclusion zone.
