Fitness costs of increased cataract frequency and cumulative radiation dose in natural mammalian populations from Chernobyl
A cataract is a clouding of the lens that reduces light transmission to the retina, and it decreases the visual acuity of the bearer. The prevalence of cataracts in natural populations of mammals, and their potential ecological significance, is poorly known. Cataracts have been reported to arise fro...
