Although coverage is concentrated in Northern Italy, the standardized and accessible protocol provides a scalable framework. Geographic coverage is biased towards Northern Italy, reflecting volunteer availability, and temporal coverage is uneven. Moreover, the exclusive reliance on baits underrepresents arboreal or hypogeic species.
