Sterility among female lizards (Uta stansburiana) exposed to continuous gamma irradiation Sterility among female lizards (Uta stansburiana) exposed to continuous gamma irradiation
A natural population of the lizard Uta stansburiana occupying a fenced 9-ha area in southern Nevada was exposed to essentially continuous γ irradiation from an artificial source between February 1964 and September 1973.
