Max Breeding Status # Quads # Priority Blocks # Total Blocks

Confirmed 24 12 35

Probable 7 4 13

Possible 4 4 5

Species Total 35 20 53

Total in Atlas 1132 1041 3854

Species Percentage 3.09 1.92 1.38

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.
