Kruger National Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and the Okavango Delta are among 25 atlas places where the Emerald-spotted Wood Dove is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, Kenya and Zambia, and the map shows where these records gather. The atlas holds about 121,000 open records of this bird from 13 countries.
Records of the Emerald-spotted Wood Dove span 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 Emerald-spotted Wood 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.
