How to read this map
The map plots a sample of 3,000 of the 9,168 records, deduplicated to a half-degree grid, so dense areas do not merge into one blob. The sample covers 33 of the 45 countries or areas with records; the areas absent from the sample hold 12 records in total (Cook Islands, Spain, British Indian Ocean Territory, Italy, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Myanmar, Maldives).
34 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.
