Streptopelia capicola
Kruger National Park, Addo Elephant National Park and the Serengeti are among the 29 atlas places where the Ring-necked Dove is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Namibia and Zambia. The atlas holds about 332,000 open records of this bird from 11 countries, and the map shows where these records concentrate.
Records of Streptopelia capicola run year-round, appearing in the atlas for every month of the year.
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 Ring-necked Dove 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.
