Abstract

We present the dataset of passive acoustic sampling events deposited in the Colección de Sonidos Ambientales Mauricio Álvarez-Rebolledo at the Humboldt Institute (IAvH-CSA) during the years 2018-2019. The acoustic sampling events were generated from different projects, including Colombia Bio, Santander Bio, Boyacá Bio, Lisama, Riqueza Natural, and occasional events collected during this time. In total, 44,704 sampling events are deposited in the collection, corresponding to 1 minute of automatic recording sampled at a 44.1 kHz sampling rate and 16-bit resolution. The recording schedules correspond to 1 minute every 5, 10, or 30 min throughout the day, during 1 to 20 sampling days, across 79 localities in Colombia. The geographical coverage includes the departments of Bolívar, Boyacá, Caquetá, Cundinamarca, Meta, Santander, and Sucre. The present information was collected within the framework of the passive monitoring methodology established by the Humboldt Institute .

The geographical location of the 79 sites that include passive sampling with acoustic sensors by the Colección de Sonidos Ambientales Mauricio Álvarez-Rebolledo– Instituto Humboldt (IAvH-CSA) during 2018-2019. The 79 sites are presented in 8 selections on the map identified with white numbers. The color of the dot identifies the recording scheme. The halo around the points indicates the density of recordings, a number that changes regarding the scale. Right small-scale map includes the rectangles presented at the left maps.

The number of recordings concerning date and elevation. (a) Each dot reflects the number of recordings per site per day, the horizontal lines represent the maximum number of recordings per day for each recording scheme (1 minute recording every 5 minutes: 288 recordings; every 10 minutes: 144; every 30 minutes: 48); Full days of recording are identified by matching dots with lines in the same color. (b) Each point reflects the number of recordings per site along an elevation gradient (see Fig.1 for the location of the 79 sampled sites).
