摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter deals with transgenerational developmental plasticity as a paradigm of evolutionary change. Evolutionary change and (TDP) consist in appearance the offspring, transmission to future generations, phenotypic (behavioral, morphological, physiological, life history) characters that parents did not inherit but may (or not) have acquired during their lifetime. TDP changes refer without genes. is an adaptive response stressful stimuli or presaging deterioration conditions living. The study presents nature, using example phase transition locusts. It also describes experiments. Following this, it attempts reconstruct chain events plasticity. In this light, D. magna, explaining its mechanism sexual reproduction. Furthermore, experimentally determined case maternal neurotransmitter starts brain cascade leading TDP, flesh fly (Sarcophaga bullata). locusts explained detail. Finally, highlights origins information on
