Lybius torquatus
Kruger National Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park are among twelve atlas places where the Black-collared Barbet is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia, and the map shows where these sightings gather most thickly. There are about 194,000 open records of this bird across nine countries.
Observers have recorded the species year-round, with sightings appearing in 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 Black-collared Barbet 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.
