The three year researches of Clethrionomys glareolus and Drosophila melanogastcr populations are presented. The experiment was pursued in Nizhnekamsk, the controlled region was situated in Sarali of the VolgaKama zapovednic without atmosphere pollutions. There has been shown that the levels of prenatal mortality and potential fecundity are arised in the Nizhnekamsk populations. The latter is thought to be the compensation mechanism which stabilizes the reproduction of population. There has been stown that the induced mutagenesis (dominant and recessive lethal mutations) in the populations of Drosophila which were exposed in Nizhnekamck.
