The role of cone volatiles and thermogenesis in the pollination of Encephalartos cycads with particular reference to E.villosus

Includes abstract. === Includes bibliographical references. === Pollination systems of cycads usually involve obligate mutualisms in which the cycad taxa depend on between one and three insect pollinators. Generally, the pollination periods of many cycad taxa are characterised by odour emissions in...
