How to read this map
The map plots a sample of 3,000 of the 14,891 records, deduplicated to a half-degree grid, so dense areas do not merge into one blob. The sample covers 4 of the 26 countries or areas with records; the areas absent from the sample hold 420 records in total (United States of America, Panama, Bahamas, Jamaica, Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of), Mexico, Virgin Islands (U.S.), Barbados).
22 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.
