CSG Insect Pollinators Subgroup

This subgroup focuses on research involving cycad insect pollinators. A meeting of this subgroup was held during the 7th International Conference on Cycad Biology (CYCAD 2005) in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico, in January 2005.

The following is a recent special issue of the Cycad Society's Cycad Newsletter focusing on insect pollinators of cycads. It essentially represents a report from the meeting of the subgroup held during the 6th International Conference on Cycad Biology (CYCAD 2002) in Pattaya, Thailand, and it is being made available here with permission.
