Some examples where the plurigenera are nonconstant, when the fibres have worse singularities than canonical
Let start with a definition
Invariance of plurigenera: Choose $m$ large enough so that $mK_F$ has a non-zero global section for some fibre $F$. For any fibre $F$, we have $K_F = K_{X/D}~_{|F}$. So ...
