01Narrative

The Euphrates jerboa (Allactaga euphratica) is a rodent of the family Dipodidae and genus Allactaga.* They are characteristically known as hopping rodents. They have been found in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and also occurs very marginally in southeastern Turkey.Arslan, Atilla. "C-banding and Ag-NOR Distribution Patterns in Euphrates Jerboa, Allactaga Eupharatica." Mammalia Winter 76.4 (2012): 435. ArticleReach. Web. 17 Sept. 2013. The Euphrates jerboa's natural habitats are semi-deserts, subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland and hot deserts.Kryštufek, B. "Allactaga Euphratica." IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. N.p., 2008. Web. 01 Oct. 2013. <http://iucnredlist.org/details/854/0>.

05DNA & barcoding1 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 Allactaga euphratica has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA1 detections

Where the DNA of Allactaga euphratica 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.
