This range is an occurrence-derived learning extent, not an official assessment range map. See the methodology page for the complete pipeline. GBIF.org occurrence density (GBIF Maps API v2) · 1° global raster; derived from GBIF per-cell occurrence density, vagrant-trimmed by a cumulative record-count threshold, morphologically closed, small-and-distant components pruned, clipped to a Natural Earth 1:110m realm mask.
Method and versionA sample of openly-licensed occurrence records retained after quality filtering. 550 licence-filtered records across 99 1° cells, retrieved 2026-08-24.
