How to read this map
The map plots a sample of 3,000 of the 46,297 records, deduplicated to a half-degree grid, so dense areas do not merge into one blob. The sample covers 3 of the 10 countries or areas with records; the areas absent from the sample hold 37 records in total (Brazil, Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of), Bermuda, Guatemala, Bahamas, Guyana, Honduras).
44 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.
