Radiation-Tolerant Wolves in Chernobyl Reveal Rapid Genetic Shifts Tied to Cancer Resistance

Radiation-Tolerant Wolves in Chernobyl Reveal Rapid Genetic Shifts Tied to Cancer Resistance

Decades after the Chernobyl disaster, wolves in the exclusion zone are thriving at higher densities than in uncontaminated areas. A Princeton-led study comparing wolves from the zone, lower-radiation Belarus, and Yellowstone finds about 3,180 genes differ in the irradiated wolves, including 23 cancer-related genes more active, suggesting rapid evolution under radiation pressure toward cancer resilience. Density differences may also reflect reduced human hunting, but the genetic signal points to possible cancer-tolerance or tumor-suppression mechanisms, with potential relevance to human cancer research; the work is published in Current Biology and led by Cara Love and Shane Campbell-Staton.

Knicks Clean Out Hawks; Wolves Upset Nuggets; Sixers Edge Celtics in Game 6

New York throttled Atlanta 140-89 to close out the series in six, with OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges delivering efficient scoring while Karl-Anthony Towns posted a playoff triple-double. Minnesota’s Jaden McDaniels dominated in a Game 6 win over Denver with 32 points and 10 rebounds and zero turnovers. Paul George anchored Philadelphia with 23 points and lockdown defense as the Sixers beat Boston to force a Game 7. Celtics star Jaylen Brown had a rough closeout, and Nuggets guard Jamal Murray struggled (12 points on 4-for-17) as Denver’s postseason run ended.

Chernobyl Wolves Multiply Sevenfold, Show Cancer-Resistant Genetic Clues

New research finds gray wolves in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone are seven times more numerous than before the 1986 disaster, likely due to reduced human pressure, with other wildlife such as elk and deer also thriving. Evolutionary biologists from Princeton and the University of Portsmouth identified cancer-related genetic divergences in CEZ wolves—23 genes linked to multiple tumor types and signs of immune activity—based on RNA from blood samples and comparisons with Belarus and Yellowstone populations; the findings, presented at AACR 2024, suggest a possible cancer resistance in this isolated, war-surrounded ecosystem.

England wildlife park euthanizes entire five-wolf pack after in-pack conflict

Wildwood Trust, a wildlife park near Canterbury in southeast England, euthanized its entire five-wolf pack after internal fighting escalated and left three wolves critically injured; with other interventions failing, and after consultations with European wolf specialists, veterinary experts, and an independent ethical review, the park said euthanasia was the humane option to prevent further suffering, though staff described the decision as heartbreakingly difficult.

UK wolf pack euthanized after intra-pack conflict at Wildwood Trust

A five-wolf pack at Wildwood Trust near Canterbury, England, was euthanized after escalating in-pack violence and life-threatening injuries; following unsuccessful interventions and consultations with wolf experts and veterinarians, staff cited welfare concerns and the goal of preventing further suffering, with the park closed during the process and staff expressing heartbreak.

Rare Fox Attack on Wolf Pup Captured on Camera

Researchers in Italy captured on video the first-known instance of a red fox entering a wolf den, grabbing a wolf pup and likely killing it—an opportunistic attack that shows mesocarnivores can directly affect an apex predator’s reproductive success; the incident occurred while adult wolves were away hunting, and the den was later relocated, though it’s unclear how common such interactions are.

Liverpool’s Inconsistency Hits New Low in 2-1 Loss at Wolves

Liverpool offered little going forward and allowed Wolves, who sit bottom of the table, to claim a 2-1 win after Wolves’ first shot on target in the 78th minute; the piece frames this as part of a long-running pattern of inconsistency under the current manager and questions their trajectory for European qualification, with a forthcoming FA Cup rematch against Wolves.
