Is fish DEI also canceled in America?
So the west coast has only 2 kinds of fish?
It’s a misleading legend, but the note at the bottom tries to clear it up a bit. This map seems to more be like “We took the range maps of 238 species of fish and overlaid them. The red area is where practically all of those range maps of each 238 species of fish overlapped.” Of course there are other fish, but they were not included here because the map maker didn’t have the right kind of dataset for them. To me that seems to indicate that this map isn’t so much a map of actual biodiversity measured, but the potential for biodiversity of the region. Given that it’s fish, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that this area is somewhere between/near the northern continent’s biggest river, a large gulf, and ancient mountain range, and a coast with a strong warm current (for now…).
Thanks for the additional info!
Even fish can’t afford to live there.
Probably just no more than 2 species in a given area, but not necessarily the same 2 in every area.
Plus sub-species, I assume.
Do you have a source for this map?
There are a bunch of other cool maps too:
Fuck the other two states, amirite?
I mean, if they can’t have the decency to be contiguous.
Which two fish do Nevadanites get?
I do dream of being a fish in a diverse pond, so I require this knowledge!
What the hell is going on in Pickwick Lake?
