Rhynchonycteris naso
Osa Peninsula, Tortuguero and Corcovado are among the five atlas places where the Proboscis Bat is recorded, with records concentrating in Mexico, Costa Rica and Guyana. The atlas holds 844 records of this mammal across 16 countries, including Brazil and Peru. This map follows where those records concentrate. Since Rhynchonycteris naso 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 Proboscis 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.
