Publication dates and scope

Capture: inat-20261011
Captured: 11 Oct 2026
Uploads covered: 4 Oct 2026 – 10 Oct 2026
Compared with: 4 Oct 2026

Research Grade observations with photos, from iNaturalist.org. Counts describe documentation, not wildlife abundance, and an iNaturalist taxon rename never adds an observation twice. Captures are immutable, so a figure can always be traced back to its week.
