University of Guam cycad biologist Benjamin Deloso measures the size of a male cone of a 15-year-old Cycas micronesica plant at the Montgomery Botanical Center in Miami. The University of Guam is studying pollination biology of the Guam tree in this Florida site because the unhealthy trees in Guam are heavily damaged by invasive insect pests.
