Scientists collected data about the relative abundance of birds called barn swallows in the affected area after the Chernobyl disaster. After the disaster, unlike the three organisms shown in the graph, the barn swallows suffered from continued reduced reproductive success over time.
The chart below shows some data about the relative abundance of barn swallows after the Chernobyl disaster. The years are not included in the chart, and the data are not listed in chronological order.
