A Guazuma ulmifolia é espécie arbórea pioneira, integrante da familía Malvaceae, conhecida com os nomes populares: mutamba, mutambo, mucungo, fruta-de-macaco, embireira, pau-de-pomba, guamaca, pojó, guaxima-macho, no Pará como embira e mutamba-verdadeira, no Rio Grande do Sul como embiru, no Pará e na Bahia como periquiteira, no Mato Grosso como envireira e pau-de-bicho e em São Paulo como araticum-bravo, cabeça-de-negro e guaxima-torcida, é uma árvore que ocorre nativamente do México ao Brasil. Ela é encontrada em todos os estados brasileiros nos domínios fitogeográficos: Amazônia, Mata Atlântica, Cerrado e Caatinga em vegetações de área antrópica, floresta de terra firme, Floresta Estacional Decidual, Floresta Estacional Semidecidual, Floresta Ombrófila e Floresta Ombrófila Mista. A planta possui diversos usos, incluindo como forragem animal e em preparos para alimentação humana e medicina tradicional.

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 Guazuma ulmifolia has left across the world's sequence archives.
At a glance
★ the standard DNA barcode for this group — the short region actually read to tell this species apart. The rest are extra genes sequenced along the way.
The complete instruction manual Guazuma ulmifolia 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.

Origin
Range
Wildobservation + sensor
Human sightings and records, or camera-trap / sensor detections — someone (or a device) saw or captured the species in the wild.
Museum / Voucheredphysical evidence
Backed by a physical specimen — a herbarium sheet, sample or voucher held in a collection. “Vouchered” means supported by material evidence, not just an observation.
Cultivated / Captivenot free-living
A living individual in a botanical garden, zoo or nursery — cultivated or kept, not free-living.
Wildobservation + sensor
Human sightings and records, or camera-trap / sensor detections — someone (or a device) saw or captured the species in the wild.

Cultivated / Captivenot free-living
A living individual in a botanical garden, zoo or nursery — cultivated or kept, not free-living.
Where the DNA of Guazuma ulmifolia 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.
Signal
Where its DNA was found
How strong is each trace?
Modelled climatemodelled
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.
