QDGCs are coloured if the species was observed there in either project. Reporting rates are compared using a z-statistic (see text). SABAP2 reporting rates were lower than SABAP1 in red, orange and yellow grid cells, and higher than SABAP1 for light and dark green and blue grid cells (see Figure 1). Pink grid cells are those that had not yet been covered in SABAP2. Therefore, red, orange and yellow grid cells indicate areas of potential conservation concern, whereas green and blue grid cells indicate areas of apparent population increase. Columns labelled with colours give the percentage of the total for that province, with the actual number of QDGCs in parentheses. Columns to the right of the Total column present summaries of reporting rate data not presented in Figure 1 but available in Figure S1.
