Max Breeding Status # Quads # Priority Blocks # Total Blocks

Confirmed 495 427 680

Probable 224 256 371

Possible 45 46 84

Species Total 764 729 1135

Species Percentage 67.49 70.03 29.45

Species Total is the sum of all quads/priority blocks/total blocks the species was recorded in with at least a Possible breeding status. Total in Atlas is the number of quads/priority blocks/total blocks in the atlas with data (regardless of species). Species Percentage is the Species Total quads/priority blocks/total blocks divided by the Total in Atlas quads/priority blocks/total blocks.
