The whole record
These read across every season and do not change when you pick a year.
Every record the project holds, not just this year’s — this card does not change when you pick a season. Each dot is a species. X = number of the 40 mapped hotspots it's been recorded at. Y = total individuals ever counted, log scale. Dashed lines mark the medians, splitting species into generalists, localized-but-abundant finds, and everything between.
How the project grew
The completed seasons before this one, with the year still running shown for scale. Each bar carries its own total and how it moved on the year before.
