Chronic exposure to low-dose radiation at Chernobyl favours adaptation to oxidative stress in birds (2014, background): “Furthermore, this could not explain the positive effect on body condition of birds, which actually suggests that exposure to radiation may increase survival of birds (Møller & Szep 2001).”
Microevolutionary Response to Climatic Change (2004, background): “In years when conditions at northern African stopover sites are favourable, more birds may survive migration (Møller and Szép, 2002).”
Sexy to die for? Sexual selection and the risk of extinction (2003, background): “…have opposite consequences for offspring of different sexes: for example, in a declining population of barn swallows Hirundo rustica, an increase in a condition-dependent sex trait was associated with a temporal reduction in survival in males, but increased survival in females (Møller & Szep 2002).”
Condition, reproduction and survival of barn swallows from Chernobyl (2005, result): “Ecological Society, Journal of Animal Ecology, 74, 1102‐1111 Adult survival in the Chernobyl region was also low compared with the control area in Ukraine and to estimates from western Europe (Moller 1994; Moller & Szep 2002; A. P. Moller, T. Szep, N. Saino & F. de Lope, unpublished data).”
