Costa Rican amatitlania map

[Acara19]

I have mapped out (almost) all the amatitlania locales I've seen from Costa Rica. Pretty neat to see how the species divide themselves up.
Yellow represents yellow cabuya type nigrofasciata (former siquia)
Black represents the normal colored nigrofasciata we're familiar with
Red represents the dark grey stripeless red finned "siquia" with almost septemfasciata esque females
Blue represents septemfasciata
Green represents sajica
Purple represents kanna
White represents myrnae
There was one more alleged myrnae locale, Rio cocotis, which I couldn't find on any map.

Pretty cool!

This is very neat! Have you looked at https://cichlidae.com/ ?

My favorite part of the site was the species locations map. It always made me wonder if we could take any available data on the tributaries (depth, vegetation, flow) and model a predicted dispersion of species of cichlids between the collection points.

I like that there are multiple species/ variants on this one map

I am unfortunately not able to access cichlidae, most of the things I'm looking for on there require a subscription.

This is what people do for marine mammals and (not my field) very likely commercial fisheries. See: https://seamap.env.duke.edu/models/Duke-EC-GOM-2015/

I think if you had enough data of the right resolution you almost certainly could do the modeling you suggest.
