These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Silky Short-tailed 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.
