While a high\u2010quality diet can directly benefit an individual and a low\u2010quality diet can reduce fitness, a parental effect occurs only when there is a transgenerational response to these stimuli that manifests in the individual's offspring. In dietary generalists, a parental effect could play an important role for offspring performance if the species experiences considerable variation in quality across host plants; positive parental effects may result from host matching between parents and offspring on high\u2010quality host plants, whereas negative effects may result from host matching on low\u2010quality host plants or parent\u2010offspring host mismatching. A lack of strong parental effects across host plants may also help explain the maintenance of dietary generalism for generalist herbivores. We investigated whether parental effects occur in the generalist herbivore fall webworm (\n                    <jats:italic>Hyphantria cunea<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) by testing whether offspring performance depended on the host plant on which the parental generation was reared. We found that parental effects do not play an important role for fall webworm and the weak effects that do exist depend on both the larval and parental host plant. Rather than demonstrating benefits of parent\u2010host matching, our results demonstrate that the offspring of parents from one poor\u2010quality host performed worse on one high\u2010quality host than offspring from any of the other hosts. Overall, our study suggests that larval host plant identity rather than parental effects is important to the performance of this generalist herbivore. Notably, a lack of strong, consistent parental effects may help explain the maintenance of dietary generalism in an extreme generalist herbivore.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ecy.70499","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,6]],"date-time":"2026-10-06T10:17:14Z","timestamp":1791281834000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Parents don't dictate the menu: Lack of strong host\u2010specific parental effects may help maintain dietary generalism"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"107","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-2111-3883","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emma J.","family":"Sellers","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences University of Denver  Denver Colorado USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3374-8050","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mayra C.","family":"Vidal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology University of Massachusetts Boston  Boston Massachusetts USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6038-606X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dhaval K.","family":"Vyas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences University of Denver  Denver Colorado USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1042-5470","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mykaela","family":"Tanino\u2010Springsteen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences University of Denver  Denver Colorado USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6255-109X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gina M.","family":"Wimp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology Georgetown University  Washington DC USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1444-365X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mattheau S.","family":"Comerford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology University of Massachusetts Boston  Boston Massachusetts USA"},{"name":"Department of Biology University of Pennsylvania  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6944-2574","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariana","family":"Abarca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences Smith College  Northampton Massachusetts USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5746-6536","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shannon M.","family":"Murphy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences University of Denver  Denver Colorado USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00442-006-0516-y"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18637\/jss.v067.i01"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.206.4414.83"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14411\/eje.2019.035"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"119","DOI":"10.2307\/3546179","article-title":"The Significance of Egg Size Variation in Butterflies in Relation to Hostplant Quality","volume":"71","author":"Braby M.
