01Narrative

Ancylomenes longicarpus (also known as long-arm cleaner shrimp or anemone partner shrimp) is a species of shrimp found from the Red Sea to the Western Pacific. Its tiny (length up to 2.5 cm) body is transparent with white and purple spots on tail and white line between eyes. It is often associated with corals from genera Xenia, Plerogyra and anemones Entacmaea quadricolor, Heteractis crispa.

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 Ancylomenes longicarpus has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA1 detections

Where the DNA of Ancylomenes longicarpus 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 strong is each trace?

DNA read depthRead counts were not reported for this species — the map shows presence only, not how strong each trace was.

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.
