Porphyrio martinica
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Galápagos National Park, aggregated onto a 25 km grid. A cell is matched by its centre, which can sit up to 16 km outside the boundary, so this covers the surrounding country too.
Occurrence records measure where people looked and found something, which is not the same as where the animal is. This is a relative likelihood, not a probability.
Records exist for January, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December, with the widest coverage in January, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December. A quiet month can mean the animal was absent, or that nobody was looking.
A grid cell is a square of the map, not a sighting: 1 square of 25 km carry records for Purple Gallinule in and around Galápagos National Park, and the 263 records behind them were collected by other people and published openly. Nothing here counts animals, and a place with more records is not always a place with more animals.
Osa Peninsula, Arenal and Tortuguero are among the six atlas places where the Purple Gallinule is recorded, with records concentrating in the United States, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia and Mexico. The atlas holds about 262,000 records of this bird from 20 countries. This map shows where those records concentrate rather than the full range of Porphyrio martinica.
Of the 10 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Galápagos National Park, the Purple Gallinule is the 9th most recorded.
