How to read this map

The map plots a sample of 3,000 of the 5,318 records, deduplicated to a half-degree grid, so dense areas do not merge into one blob. The sample covers 32 of the 37 countries or areas with records; the areas absent from the sample hold 14 records in total (Belgium, Israel, Åland Islands, Monaco, Slovenia).

176 records plotting inland were omitted: for a marine species those are almost always the holding institution's coordinates rather than a collection site.

Records show where the species has been observed and reported, not a modelled range.
