Geographic records of Anas bahamensis rubrirostris from mainland Ecuador

Occurrence data of Anas bahamesas rubrirostris from mainland Ecuador from different sources. Published records were synthesised based on a literature review, not limited by study type, study design, or language, conducted in Google Scholar™ scholarly text search (https://scholar.google.com) by online searches. We gathered relevant references using the search terms ‘Anas bahamensis’. Open metadata for all occurrences from mainland Ecuador were downloaded from eBird (https://ebird.org) by Cornell Lab of Ornithology (eBird 2020) and iNaturalist (https://www.inaturalist.org) by California Academy of Science and National Geographic (GBIF 2021). Data search and extraction from all sources were conducted in March 2020 and updated in April 2021. For each occurrence point, we compiled geographic data and all other associated information. Protocol for data curation and mining included validation of localities and duplicate detection. All localities were reviewed and validated individually, and coordinates were amended when incorrectly georeferenced in the source.
