title: Altered feeding preference of beech weevil Rhynchaenus fagi L. for beech foliage under ambient air pollution.
abstract: The effect of ambient air pollution with increased ozone concentrations on the feeding behaviour of the beech weevil Rhynchaenus fagi L. was studied. In a dual choice feeding test the beech weevil preferred leaf disks from beech saplings exposed to ambient air against those from filtered air in 65.5% of all cases.
