- Observation Cycas revoluta cone VOC profiles differed significantly across the genetic boundary.
- Association Fruit-scented cones coincided with visits by frugivorous pollinators that feed mainly on fermented fruit.
- Observation Ethyl acetate was the main cone VOC in Cycas revoluta rather than estragole.
- Observation Pollination mechanisms differed between Cycadaceae and Zamiaceae.
