GBIF occurrence records for Gersemia rubiformis, mapped and tabulated by country.
17,457 georeferenced occurrence records with coordinates are published for Gersemia rubiformis through GBIF, from 11 countries or marine areas.

How to read this map
The map plots a sample of 3,000 of the 17,457 records, deduplicated to a half-degree grid, so dense areas do not merge into one blob. The sample covers 6 of the 11 countries or areas with records; the areas absent from the sample hold 23 records in total (Greenland, France, Bermuda, Denmark, Japan).
28 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.
