Hylophilus decurtatus
The Osa Peninsula, Tortuguero and Corcovado are among the six atlas places where the Lesser Greenlet is recorded. Its records concentrate in 11 countries, primarily in Costa Rica, Belize, Panama, Guatemala and Mexico. The atlas holds about 232,000 open records of this bird, and the map highlights where these records concentrate.
Records of the Lesser Greenlet occur year-round, spanning every month of the calendar.
Each bar is the share of its 200 month-dated grid cells with records in that month.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Lesser Greenlet 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.
