01Narrative

Hosmer's frog (Cophixalus hosmeri) is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Australia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It has previously been threatened by habitat loss but is now of "Least Concern" as its habitat is secure and suffers no major threats. The female has a snout–vent length of 17 mm.

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 Cophixalus hosmeri has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA1 detections

Where the DNA of Cophixalus hosmeri 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.
