The Republic of Cabo Verde (also known as Cabo Verde Islands) and the Cape Verde Peninsula (Senegal) exemplify this challenge, where historical and recent studies have struggled to provide accurate species distributions due to unverified, erroneous and ambiguous records. This underscores the necessity of comprehensive, reliable datasets to delineate species occurrences across these distinct geographic areas.engichthyo-diversityichthyofauna distributionnew recordsregional inventoryspecies inventory verificationtropical east Atlanticdata paper10.3897/BDJ.13.e1482341314-2828
