Polyphagous herbivores are generalists able to exploit a large range of host-plants. In this thesis, using experimental evolution, I study the evolution of life history traits in different populations of a crop pest, the spider mite Tetranychus urticae, after colonization of a new host, the tomato plant. In the first two chapters, measures of life history traits were collected from the egg stage to the death of individuals allowing the precise description of the life cycle of mites in response to the exploitation of tomato plants. As described chapter 1, I found that juvenile survival on the new host was influenced by maternal effects. In particular, mothers having developed on tomato had offspring surviving better on this host as juvenile....
