Artibeus jamaicensis
Monteverde, Tortuguero and Arenal are the three atlas places where the Jamaican Fruit-eating Bat is recorded, with records concentrating in Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, the Dominican Republic and Brazil. The atlas holds 2,906 records of this mammal across 24 countries, and the map shows where these records concentrate.
Because this species is recorded in both hemispheres, seasons differ by region and each place page shows the months recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Jamaican Fruit-eating Bat as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
Conservation status not assessed here yet, so every location is generalised to its grid cell.
