Molecular operational taxonomic unit (MOTU) assignments for sequences generated in this study from When cryptogenic species are also cryptic: reframing biogeographic uncertainty in the eDNA era

Generated sequences were grouped into molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs) based on a 97% similarity threshold and reads were assigned taxonomic information using a blastn search of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenBank nucleotide database (accessed 17 July 2025). The top organism hit for each MOTU is listed along with its pairwise sequence percent identity, accession number, bit-score, e-value, query coverage, and sequence length.
