In the set of experiments with short-living and long-living housefly strains Sh gen and L gen we showed that starvation as restriction of food availability for young adults at reproductive maturation stage caused change of life span and fecundity in parent generation and consecutive offspring generations. Change of viability and developmental time of progeny demonstrated transgenerational nature of starvation stress.
