How to read this map
The map plots a sample of 1,063 of the 1,063 records, deduplicated to a half-degree grid, so dense areas do not merge into one blob. The sample covers 35 of the 35 countries or areas with records; the areas absent from the sample hold 0 records in total.
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.
