Abstract

A well established technique to measure acceptability (or palatability) of plant species to general herbivores is to compare the quantity of the test species consumed with the quantity of a reference species consumed when both are presented together. It is shown here that the resulting rank order of acceptability is altered when different reference species are used or when consumption is measured as dry weight rather than leaf area consumed.
