01Narrative

Coryne muscoides is a species of athecate hydroid belonging to the family Corynidae. It is a species of the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. This is a many-branched rose-coloured hydroid, up to 15 cm tall with distinctive ringed stems and branches. Each branch ends with a cluster of knobbed tentacles. It can be found in deep rock pools and attached to large seaweeds.

05DNA & barcoding4 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 Coryne muscoides has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA4 detections

Where the DNA of Coryne muscoides 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.
