N is the estimated number of hypnozygotes collected by laser pressure catapult. Approximations of Group I and III copy numbers used for Fig. 4 boundaries are italicized (see text). Hypnozygotes that did not excyst are marked by an asterisk.
Hypnozygotes for which no germination trials were attempted are marked by two asterisks.
