01Narrative
Aethes margarotana is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It was described by Philogène Auguste Joseph Duponchel in 1836. It is found in most of Europe (except Ireland, the Benelux, Fennoscandia, Poland, the Baltic region, Switzerland and part of the Balkan Peninsula), Russia, North Africa and Iran., 2009: Synopsis of the Cochylini (Tortricidae: Tortricinae: Cochylini) of Iran, with the description of a new species. Zootaxa 2245: 1-31. The habitat consists of sand-dunes and shingle beaches. The wingspan is 13 –. The larvae feed on the flowers of Eryngium maritimum.

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 Aethes margarotana 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. 95% of positions are identical in every specimen.
Where individuals differ — all 33 variable positions, in barcode order
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.

Closest relatives by DNA barcode
The species whose COI barcode is most similar to this one — a quick “who is this most like”. The percentage is how much the barcode differs; it approximates, but is not, the full evolutionary tree.
★ the standard DNA barcode for this group — the short region actually read to tell this species apart. The rest are extra genes sequenced along the way.
