Article Synopsis
- Reliable maps of species distributions, like the IUCN range maps, are crucial for biodiversity research but often don't match actual occurrence data.
- A study found that camera traps detected only 39% of expected species based on IUCN and recent area of habitat (AOH) maps, with most mismatches occurring near range edges.
- The findings highlight that while range maps may not miss areas where species exist, they often include areas where species are absent, stressing the need to combine maps with ground-based data for better conservation planning.
