“…Ayabe et al (2014) reported that radiocesium concentrations in a forest floor-inhabiting web spider (Nephila clavata) increased according to radiation dose rate, which depended on distance from the FNPP at 1.5 years after the FNPP accident. Previous studies of aquatic habitats have mostly surveyed freshwater fish species (e.g., Iguchi et al, 2013;Fukushima and Arai, 2014;Yamamoto et al, 2014), although several other taxa have been examined (aquatic insects, Yoshimura and Akama, 2014; anuran tadpoles, Sakai et al, 2014).…”
