Abnormalities of embryonal development of vertebrates under the conditions of technogenic environmental pollution.

摘要

The performed investigations have revealed 21 kinds of pathologies in the embryonal development of amphibia and more than 30 kinds in small mammals in the territories with radiation-chemical environmental pollution. Differences in embryonal mortality and pathologies of embryogenesis have been demonstrated for both the representatives of amphibia and mammals and within one class in the regions with different technogenic load. Embryonal death and pathologies of embryonal development are considered as important reasons of reproductive losses for different species.Notes Translated from Sibirskii Ekologicheskii Zhurnal (2011) 18, 487-495 (Ru).Digital Object Identifier http://dx.doi.org/10.1134/S1995425511040035
