title: [The stress mechanisms of mammalian adaptation to an elevated content of radionuclides in the environment].
abstract: Analysis of populations of rodents and their stability in radioactively contaminated territories (East Ural radioactive track and regions contaminated after the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident) suggests that non-specific stability due to the stress mechanisms plays an important role in adaptation of the animals to the life in these regions. According to the published data, the elevated radioresistance of animals in these regions appeared to be due to increased non-specific stability formed by the stress mechanisms.
