Red abalone

Adverse childhood experiences can cast a long shadow on one's adult life, a phenomenon not limited to humans. Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have uncovered a parallel in red abalone, where exposure to ocean acidification stress during infancy and adulthood can have lasting negative effects, as reported in the journal Global Change Biology. This discovery emphasizes the enduring impact of environmental stressors, mirroring the profound effects of challenging childhood experiences in humans.
