Assessment of herb field mouse (Sylvaemus uralensis) migration in the area of the East Urals Radioactive Trace using measurements of bone-seeking Sr.

The dynamics of rodent population in the area of East Urals Radioactive Trace (EURT) is one of the controversial issues, which are of key importance for the radiobiological and radioecological interpretation of the observed radiation effects. The objective of the paper is to evaluate the probability of migration in population of the herb field mouse (Sylvaemus uralensis Pall., 1811) based on Sr activity concentrations in the mouse bones.
