Abstract
Todays world is rapidly changing. With global warming being the center of many discussions worldwide, its impact on animal's fintess is undeniable. Parental effects have long been described to increase offspring fitness in severall plant species as well as some animal species. In this work we try to prove the adaptive value of parental effects on Drosophila melanogaster, and see whether offspring fitness increases when they live in the same temperature conditions as their parents. Understanding the adaptive role of these parental effects is a key to understand the underlying mechanisms that lead to rapid adaptation to constantely changing environments.
