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.
