Genetic drift precluded adaptation of an insect seed predator to a novel host plant in a long-term selection experiment

Host specialization is considered a primary driver of the enormous diversity of herbivorous insects. Trade-offs in host use are hypothesized to promote this specialization, but they have mostly been studied in generalist herbivores. We conducted a multi-generation selection experiment to examine the...
