what should I see if I click on a country?

?

I suggesgt to show the source of the asserted distribution, however, the field is empty

As originally agreed upon the map specifications are to answer the question "where, roughly, might we expect to find this taxon in this world." Additional behaviours should try and bring with them questions that can't be answered with data from the page. Presently you can answer your question by downloading the DwC archive and analyzing that.

As far as I understood maps rpovide some rudimentary GIS functionality. So clicking on a geoobject might generate a reference which works fine with points, leading to info about the respective collection (observation?) object. So if a country is coloured this means that there is a reference with an asserted distribution mentioning this country, or is this an extrapolation? An (automatically generated) map caption might clarify these questions

@klausriede
In the case of Orophus, the distribution shown is an extrapolation based on the collection records of the species (collection objects). However, to distinguish it from the asserted distributions (which are based on references), it is displayed in the Browse OTUs section of https://sfg.taxonworks.org/.
