How to read this map
The map plots a sample of 3,000 of the 52,997 records, deduplicated to a half-degree grid, so dense areas do not merge into one blob. The sample covers 11 of the 24 countries or areas with records; the areas absent from the sample hold 661 records in total (Croatia, Portugal, Guernsey, Italy, French Southern Territories, Greece, Finland, Guinea).
11 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.
