FREDERICA

FREDERICA radiation effects database was developed to provide an online compilation of the known effects of ionising radiation on non-human species. FREDERICA contains some 30,000 data entries from 1,231 references. The data entries correspond to pairs of points (exposure level, biological e ect) along with informa on on the condi- ons in which these data were obtained (tested species, life stage, exposure regime, e ect end- point, etc.). The data are organised into wildlife groups (amphibians, aqua c invertebrates, aqua c plants, bacteria, birds, crustaceans, sh, fungi, insects, mammals, molluscs, mosses/ lichens, rep les, soil fauna, terrestrial plants and zooplankton). While the biological e ects report- ed in the database are at an individual level, the endpoints considered include those relevant to possible responses at the population level (e.g. reproductive capacity, mortality, morbidity and mutations). Database access can be provided on application, and data within each curated study is available on a case by case basis.
