    EXCLUDED
    Subclass of absent: The organism is reported in some (gray) literature for a certain region, but is is erroneous.

    PRESENT
    There is at least one well documented record of the taxon's presence in the area.

    • PRESENT

      public static final DistributionStatus PRESENT
      There is at least one well documented record of the taxon's presence in the area.

    • COMMON

      public static final DistributionStatus COMMON
      Subclass of present: Species observed frequently in most proper habitat.

    • RARE

      public static final DistributionStatus RARE
      Subclass of present: Species occurs regularly, but in small numbers. Requires careful searching of proper habitat.

    • IRREGULAR

      public static final DistributionStatus IRREGULAR
      Subclass of present: May be common in certain years and entirely absent other years.

    • DOUBTFUL

      public static final DistributionStatus DOUBTFUL
      The taxon is scored as being present in the area but there is some doubt over the evidence. The doubt may be of different kinds including taxonomic or geographic imprecision in the records.

    • EXCLUDED

      public static final DistributionStatus EXCLUDED
      Subclass of absent: The organism is reported in some (gray) literature for a certain region, but is is erroneous. Reason for exclusion could be a misidentification, an old report, a simple publishing mistake or any other or unknown reason.

    • ABSENT

      public static final DistributionStatus ABSENT
      There is evidence to document the absence of a taxon in the area. An extinct organism is absent while its establishmentMeans is native.

    • valueOf

      public static DistributionStatus valueOf(String name)
