How to read this map

The map plots a sample of 3,000 of the 4,115 records, deduplicated to a half-degree grid, so dense areas do not merge into one blob. The sample covers 33 of the 36 countries or areas with records; the areas absent from the sample hold 12 records in total (Nauru, Thailand, United States of America).

29 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.
