Irradiated small mammals released into the environment had a lower survival rate than laboratory populations, suggesting that the extrapolation from laboratory results may overestimate the radioresistance of free-ranging voles and other small animals because of the general level of stress in the population (Iverson and Turner 1976). The opposite was observed in eastern chipmunks given high sublethal doses of X-rays. Chipmunks had an overall reduction in mobility when they were released...
