Tree swallow study: Stressful events have long-term health impacts

Little is known about how brief yet acute stressors -- such as war, natural disasters and terror attacks -- affect those exposed to them, though human experience suggests they have long-term impacts. Two recent studies of tree swallows uncover long-term consequences of such passing but major stressful events. Both studies provide information on how major stressful events have lasting effects and why some individuals are more susceptible to those impacts than others.
