01Narrative

Aenetus scotti is a moth of the family Hepialidae. It is known from New South Wales and Queensland.Australian Faunal Directory The larvae feed on a wide range of trees and saplings, including Dendrocnide excelsa, Milletia megasperma, Diploglottis australis, Daphnandra micrantha, Melicope micrococca, Eucalyptus species and Lantana camara. They bore in the stem of their host plant.

05DNA & barcoding3 specimens

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Aenetus scotti has left across the world's sequence archives.

▸ drag or hover over the strip to read any position — letter and how much it varies

Violet ticks below the strip = positions where individuals differ; flat = the species' unchanging signature. 94% of positions are identical in every specimen.

Variant network

Each circle is a barcode variant; bigger = more specimens, colour = region. Lines join the most similar variants and the tick marks count the mutations between them — a tight cluster is one “dialect”, a long line a more divergent lineage. Click a circle to list its actual specimens.

Where the DNA of Aenetus scotti was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
