Sample of Raw Range Data

Sample of Raw Range Data

This is the raw LDU frequency data we started with for Leptochidium albociliatum. The color legend is:

red areas where it is known to be frequent
pink areas where it is known to be at least infrequent
white we have data for these LDUs but no records of it occurring there
green we have no reliable data for these LDUs
yellow shows how the raw data will be smoothed off for the final map going in the book

We are scrutinizing literally over a thousand such maps as you read this. In the final product we will distinguish between regions where it is known to occur and regions where we it is presumed to occur.

Here is the completed map. And here is a full-size TIFF (1Mb).
