Recomendaciones para registrar y almacenar señales acústicas como especímenes digitales en Colombia

Abstract: The recognition and registration of biodiversity, from its different dimensions, is essential as a baseline in basic and applied sciences. In this context, acoustics is an increasingly relevant resource in the study of the biota. However, there are different methods of collecting acoustic signals, which implies a great variety in the quality of the formats in which these recordings are performed. Only some formats guarantee a high sound quality that gives those recordings a special value for later inclusion in biological studies that require analyzing acoustic parameters. In this document, we offer recommendations to guide the reader in the compilation of high-quality acoustic records, based on the standardized processes adopted in the Colección de Sonidos Ambientales Mauricio Álvarez-Rebolledo at the Humboldt Institute. These processes, in turn, follow institutional suggestions from Macaulay Library at Cornell University, with years of tradition in the study of acoustics and accessibility in their website-based platform. Our objective is to promote the optimization of the methods used in different institutions in Colombia for an adequate management of the repositories of digital specimens.
