Abstract:

Five species of woodland animals were collected during summer 1977 at the Wisconsin Test Facility. Oxygen consumptions were statistically analyzed over the years 1972-1977 and showed no significant differences between exposed and control groups. Field observations and sampling of the five exposed populations continue to show no abnormalities in behavior, habitat selector external features and pigmentation after eight years of WTF operation.
