How to read this map
The map plots a sample of 3,000 of the 51,873 records, deduplicated to a half-degree grid, so dense areas do not merge into one blob. The sample covers 14 of the 25 countries or areas with records; the areas absent from the sample hold 480 records in total (Isle of Man, Portugal, Morocco, United States of America, Faroe Islands, Belgium, Greenland, Croatia).
196 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.
