01Narrative

Lina's sunbird (Aethopyga linaraborae) is a species of bird in the family Nectariniidae It is endemic to mountains in the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. It is one of the most striking sunbirds in the country with the males having iridescent blue color and orange spot on its yellow breast. It is named after Dioscoro S. Rabor's wife, Lina. Its natural habitat is r tropical moist montane forest above 1000 m. It is threatened by habitat loss

05DNA & barcoding2 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 Aethopyga linaraborae has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA1 detections

Where the DNA of Aethopyga linaraborae 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.
