01Narrative

Amblyosyllis immatura is een borstelworm uit de familie Syllidae. Het lichaam van de worm bestaat uit een kop, een cilindrisch, gesegmenteerd lichaam en een staartstukje. De kop bestaat uit een prostomium en een peristomium en draagt gepaarde aanhangsels. Amblyosyllis immatura werd in 1879 voor het eerst wetenschappelijk beschreven door Langerhans.

05DNA & barcoding2 eDNA hits

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 Amblyosyllis spectabilis has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA2 detections

Where the DNA of Amblyosyllis spectabilis 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.
