Compare this animal’s observation pattern
Peak month: August. Records cluster in the months an animal is present and being looked for, so a summer peak can reflect observer effort as much as the animal.
Recording effort has risen steeply almost everywhere since the 1990s, so a rising line usually shows more observers rather than more animals.
The countries below show where occurrence evidence exists for Atlantic smallwing flyingfish. They do not define a complete habitat range: survey effort differs by place, and historical or one-off records can appear alongside repeated presence.
