Butterflies embrace maladaptation and raise fitness in colonizing novel host
Abstract We illustrate an evolutionary host shift driven by increased fitness on a novel host, despite maladaptation to it in six separate host‐adaptive traits. Here, local adaptation is defined as possession of traits that provide advantage in specific environmental contexts; thus individuals can h...
