Are adaptation costs necessary to build up a local adaptation pattern?

Table 2 Life-history traits on cucumber of mites from the experimental populations evolving on cucumber, pepper and tomato.

Trait	Experimental populations on
	Cucumber	Pepper	Tomato
Survival	0.79 ± 0.04	0.78 ± 0.06	0.72 ± 0.04
Development	16.56 ± 0.23	16.4 ± 0.19	17.02 ± 0.37
Oviposition	4.1 ± 0.32	4.49 ± 0.37	3.96 ± 0.21
Longevity	33.45 ± 0.45	34.4 ± 3.14	33.06 ± 2.78

Given are the means ± the s.e.m. of populations evolving on the same host-plant species. No significant differences were found among selection regimes.
