Dietary shifts are major evolutionary steps that shape ecological niches and biodiversity. The beetle family Coccinellidae, commonly known as ladybirds, first transitioned from a fungivorous to an insectivorous and subsequently a plant diet. However, the molecular basis of this dietary diversification remained unexplored.
We investigated the mol...
