The latter taxon (under study by TDC) is based on a partial individual (AMNH FARB 6556) that includes several teeth (premaxillary, lateral) and skull bones (lacrimal, jugal, pterygoid, ectopterygoid, quadratojugal) that was collected in 1923 under the auspices of the AMNH.
Lost hook-and-line fishing gear accounted for 87% of all debris (N=298 incidences) encountered and was responsible for 84% of the 321 documented impacts to sponges and benthic cnidarians, predominantly consisting of tissue abrasion causing partial individual or colony mortality.

Taken together, our transcriptome sequencing analysis suggests that the concurrence of heat and drought stress will not only alter expression profiles of partial individual stress responsive genes but also trigger activation or depression of a proportion of HD specific genes, leading to a complicated gene regulatory network in wheat acclimation response to drought and heat combination.
The color code is as follows: Wild-type = red; Partial mutant individuals with at least one cooperating site = blue; Partial mutant individuals containing only cheating sites = pink; m-hit cheater mutants = green.
And state reimbursement is usually only partial, leaving individuals no choice but to purchase supplemental insurance — in some but not all cases — to make up the difference.
