01Narrative

Ficus rubiginosa, le Figuier de Port Jackson, est un arbre du genre Ficus originaire de l'est de l'Australie. Arbre bien connu des parcs et jardins publics des villes de la côte Est de l'Australie, il joue un rôle important pour l'habitat et la vie de la faune sauvage. Comme tous les figuiers, il a besoin d'une guêpe particulière pour une pollinisation et une fécondation des fleurs. On le rencontre souvent en train de pousser dans des fentes, des crevasses, des fissures des murs des villes comme Sydney.

05DNA & barcoding6 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 Ficus rubiginosa has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Ficus rubiginosa 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 DNA4 detections

Where the DNA of Ficus rubiginosa 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.
