Trachyphonus vaillantii
Kruger National Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park are among twelve atlas places where the Crested Barbet is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana, though it is also recorded in nine countries total including Zambia and Namibia. The atlas holds about 180,000 records of this bird, and the map shows where these sightings concentrate.
Records of Trachyphonus vaillantii span the entire year, appearing in the data for every month.
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 Crested 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.
