The evidence codes are as follows. TAS: traceable author statement (i.e., a direct report exists in the literature). NAS: non-traceable author statement (i.e., not observed directly in a living, isolated sample, but based on a generally accepted property of the species, or anecdotal evidence). These evidence codes are derived from the Gene Ontology project [32].
