Exposure to high-sugar diet in Drosophila resulted in the suppression of sweet sensitivity and feeding behavior in the offspring via altered epigenetic modifications on the histone, highlighting sustained impact of ancestral experience on the physiology and health of offspring.

Maternally experienced environmental stress leads to multigenerational inheritance of ethanol preference and an altered rewards pathway in Drosophila melanogaster.

Progeny can inherit parental experiences through altered brain chemistry.

Hypothalamic TTR as a novel molecular player of stress-induced long-term impact on behavior.

A foundation for analyzing epigenetic changes within the context of regulatory architectures that enable heredity.

Microbiome and transcriptomic profiling of genetically selected tropical fish with high and low tolerance to cold exposure revealed host control over microbiome composition and response to temperature changes.

Ageing is broadly accepted as a by-product of evolution, as thus, models allowing to conceive ageing as an adaptive force of evolution could show significant importance at a time of biogerontology mostly aiming at curing ageing.

Epigenetic reprogramming by LSD1/KDM1A acts at fertilization in mice to enable embryogenesis and prevent behavioural abnormalities.

The adaptive value of social behaviour exhibited in adult life varies with conditions experienced in early life, and poorer conditions may promote conflict over cooperation.

Evidence is mounting that environmentally-induced adaptive changes in phenotype can be transmitted across generations, but mechanistic gaps and theoretical concerns must be addressed to impact mainstream views of evolutionary adaptation.
