This pipeline initializes with two files: taxa list and geographical information list, including OBIS-based area ID. Then, information from OBIS to BOLD is compared, including a step of species name validation by using WoRMS database (see main text for more details). Graphical and descriptive reports are finally generated in order to compare and contrast information generated from both OBIS and BOLD databases.
Fig 2.
Species number decomposition through four categories: Country (i.e. region column), taxonomical group (i.e. OBIS column), availability in BOLD database (i.e. BOLD column), and distribution of barcodes relative to the Southeast Pacific (i.e. distribution column).
Categories also follow the prior order. A “NA” label at columns BOLD and Distribution depicts missing data. Labels “private” and “public” at BOLD column indicate whether barcode records are private or public (at least one record), respectively. Labels “outside” and “inside” at distribution column indicate whether barcode records were obtained from specimens collected outside or inside (at least one record) the Southeast Pacific area, respectively.
Table 1.
Number of species from OBIS (species (OBIS)), number of barcoded species (species (BOLD)), and number of barcoded species with specimens collected from Southeast Pacific (SEP Pacific) per taxonomical group within Invertebrates and Vertebrates.
Table 2.
Number of species from OBIS (species (OBIS)), number of barcoded species (species (BOLD)), and number of barcoded species from Southeast Pacific (SEP Pacific) per country.

Geographical distribution of public DNA barcodes along the Southeast Pacific coast for Actinopterygii, Elasmobranchii, Invertebrate, Mammalia, and Reptilia.

Fig 4.
Percentage of shared species through multiple combination of countries (depicted as dumbbell plots) and per taxonomical groups for three datasets (depicted at A, B, and C). In (A) only OBIS species are considered, in (B) only barcode records are considered, and in (C) barcode records with at least one entry collected from the Southeast Pacific are considered. Numbers at the top of each bar represent the total count of shared species in a given combination. Stacked barplots at the left margin of A, B, and C represent the total number of species per country.

Proportions of Invertebrates taxonomical groups per country.
Positions of bars are sorted in function of total number of Invertebrate species.
