An issue of Radiation Environmental Biophysics with papers arising from IAEA supported workshops on the transfer of radionuclides to wildlife held in Monaco and Vienna in 2009 has now been published, see: [http://www.springerlink.com/content/0301-634x/49/4/|http://www.springerlink.com/content/0301-634x/49/4/] for the full text. Abstracts will be available here shortly. \\ \\ {toc} Beresford N.A. EDITORIAL: {The transfer of radionuclides to wildlife}. Radiat. Environ.
