Data Records

The data in this checklist resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 754 records.

2 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Versions

The table below shows only published versions of the resource that are publicly accessible.

Project Data

Sapopedia is an e-publication (on-line) of the Jambatu Center to make available, to the scientific and global community, information related to the taxonomy and natural history of the Amphibians of Ecuador. This work is carried out thanks to the support of different research sources and participation in national and / or regional projects, as described below: -GBIF CESP 2018-011 Project will build on the experiences from the GBIF nodes of Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay with the associations CyTeD and Andino NET, to conduct a regional project defining consensus procedures for the development of national species checklists. A focus will be placed on achieving compatibility of databases with existing ones. Aiming a for a broad coverage of users, outcomes will be published in Spanish, Portuguese and English. Sapopedia es una publicación electrónica (en línea) del Centro Jambatu para poner a disposición, de la comunidad científica y global, información relacionada a la taxonomía e historia natural de los Anfibios de Ecuador. Este trabajo se realiza gracias al apoyo de diferentes fuentes de investigación y la participación en proyectos nacionales y/o regionales, como se describe a continuación: -El proyecto GBIF CESP 2018-011 se basa en las experiencias de los nodos GBIF de Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, México, Perú y Uruguay y con las asociaciones CyTeD y Andino NET, para llevar a cabo un proyecto regional que defina procedimientos de consenso para el desarrollo de listas de verificación de especies nacionales. Se centrará en lograr la compatibilidad de las bases de datos con las existentes. Con el objetivo de una amplia cobertura de usuarios, los resultados se publicarán en español, portugués e inglés.
