Carollia perspicillata
Tortuguero is the primary atlas park where Seba's Short-tailed Bat is recorded, with records concentrating most heavily in Colombia, Guyana, Brazil, Peru, and Mexico. The atlas includes 4,915 records of Carollia perspicillata across 17 countries, and the map highlights where these records gather.
Because this bat is recorded in both the northern and southern 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 Seba's 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.
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.
