01Narrative

Neolloydia conoidea, common name Texas cone cactus or Chihuahuan beehive, is a species of cactus native to western Texas and to the Mexican states of Coahuila, Durango, Nuevo León, San Luis Potosí, Tamaulipas, and Zacatecas. It is a part of the Chihuahuan Desert desert scrub and the Tamaulipan thorn scrub.Flora of North America v 4 p 438CONABIO. 2009. Catálogo taxonómico de especies de México. 1. In Capital Nat. México. CONABIO, Mexico City. Neolloydia conoidea is an unbranched cylindrical cactus up to 24 cm (9.6 inches) tall and up to 8 cm (3.2 inches) in diameter. Outer tepals of the flowers are whitish with green midveins; inner tepals bright pink-rose to magenta. Fruits are pale yellow-olive with black seeds.Britton, Nathaniel Lord, & Rose, Joseph Nelson.

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 Cochemiea conoidea has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB · TreeOfSex

The complete instruction manual Cochemiea conoidea carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.

Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged

2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants. Click any value below to see the underlying records and sources.

09Environmental DNA2 detections

Where the DNA of Cochemiea conoidea 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.
