The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Sniffing out patterns of sexual dimorphism in floral scent (2009, background): “ Terry et al. (2004) suggest that male cones first attract thrips with certain volatiles but as the concentration of volatiles increases it repels the thrips who then search out less strongly scented female cones.”
The Pollination of Mid Mesozoic Seed Plants and the Early History of Long-proboscid Insects1,2,3 (2010, background): “The corystosperms were a prominent seed-fern group during the Late Triassic and Jurassic, but continued to the Paleogene in Australia.”
A SYSTEMATIC SURVEY OF FLORAL NECTARIES (2007, background): “In many cycads, thermogenic cones characterize pollination: here beetles and thrips find rewards in the form of food, mating sites and brood sites for larvae, and in return act as pollen vectors (e.g., Tang, 1987; Donaldson, 1997; Terry et al., 2004).”
Floral scents: their roles in nursery pollination mutualisms (2010, background): “Indeed, in some species of figs (Cook and Rasplus 2003) and cycads ( Terry et al. 2004, 2008 ), the plant can be pollinated by two or more closely related species of nursery pollinators.”
