How to read this map
The map plots a sample of 3,000 of the 35,010 records, deduplicated to a half-degree grid, so dense areas do not merge into one blob. The sample covers 36 of the 46 countries or areas with records; the areas absent from the sample hold 75 records in total (Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of), Guatemala, Guyana, Saint Barthélemy, Canada, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Bangladesh, China).
60 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.
