01Narrative

Pararistolochia australopithecurus is an Australian rainforest vine in the Aristolochiaceae or birthwort family. It is a host plant for the Cairns birdwing butterfly and the red-bodied swallowtail.

05DNA & barcoding1 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 Aristolochia australopithecurus has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA1 detections

Where the DNA of Aristolochia australopithecurus 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.
