01Narrative

Amphorina farrani is a species of sea slug or nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Eubranchidae.MolluscaBase eds. (2020). MolluscaBase. Amphorina farrani (Alder & Hancock, 1844). Accessed on 2020-04-04. Several species of Eubranchus were transferred to Amphorina in 2020.Korshunova, T.; Malmberg, K.; Prkić, J.; Petani, A.; Fletcher, K.; Lundin, K.; Martynov, A. (2020). Fine-scale species delimitation: speciation in process and periodic patterns in nudibranch diversity. ZooKeys. 917: 15-50.

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 Amphorina farrani has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA2 detections

Where the DNA of Amphorina farrani 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.
