How to read this map
The map plots a sample of 3,000 of the 17,412 records, deduplicated to a half-degree grid, so dense areas do not merge into one blob. The sample covers 24 of the 29 countries or areas with records; the areas absent from the sample hold 12 records in total (Barbados, Saint Barthélemy, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of), Nicaragua).
4 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.
