Biologists created the first cumulative adversity index for yellow-bellied marmots.
As in humans, adversity early on had lifelong consequences and reduced life expectancy.
The index could help scientists who study and want to conserve animal populations by identifying the most influential stressors to mitigate.
A CAI can be a useful tool to evaluate the long-term survival impact of multiple early life stressors in yellow-bellied marmots.
Conservation plans targeting this marmot population might target the down-valley group which surprisingly, fared a little worse.
