Where does the Bolivian Big-eared Mouse sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Bolivian Big-eared Mouse is recorded against all the mammals logged in Lauca National Park (42 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
