01Narrative

Catasetum maculatum, the spotted catasetum, là một loài lan được tìm thấy từ Trung Mỹ đến Venezuela. Hoa của nó dị hình giới tính, và hoa đực và hoa cái trông khác nhau đến mức ban đầu chúng được cho là hai loài riêng biệt. Vài ngày sau khi nở, hoa đực tỏa ra mùi nồng nặc, dùng để thu hút ong.

05DNA & barcoding4 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 Catasetum maculatum has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA4 detections

Where the DNA of Catasetum maculatum 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.
