Variabilité des réactions aux radiations ionisantes dans le genre Marmota. Variability of reactions to ionizing radiation in Marmota genus.

Résumé

It is shown that the radioresistance of 7 species of Marmotinae after acute total irradiation is less than the average one for all 44 investigated species of rodents and for majority other taxa (hamsters, voles and gerbils). This subfamily is more heterogeneous for this characteristic, as compared to mice, hamsters, voles and gerbils. It should be noted that extreme by radioresistance species (Citellus unaulatus, Marmota monax) differ from other species in some of ecological peculiarities.
