Research grade versus casual
Research grade means the identification was confirmed by community consensus with a date and coordinates. Casual records may still be correct, but treat them as leads rather than evidence.
Obscured coordinates
Sensitive taxa have their locations randomised inside a roughly 25-kilometre box. For big game that mostly affects rare species, but never treat a single pin as a precise location.
Building a pattern
Stack sightings by month against elevation. A species drifting 2,000 feet down between September and November is showing you the migration band to hunt.
