QUYN: Platform of digital wildlife records

Abstract

The QUYN initiative is born out of the need to systematize and compile the phototramp records obtained in the teaching and research activities developed by the Institute of Natural Sciences (ICN) of the National University of Colombia. Thanks to this methodology it is possible to generate relevant information for distribution studies, activity patterns and habitat use of cryptic species, little known or poorly represented in collections. Likewise, this initiative seeks to be the starting point for generating work networks with Higher Education Institutions, Research Institutes and other institutions that, within their academic development, record important information on the diversity of mammals in our country. Thus, QUYN aims to disseminate wildlife species records from methodologies such as phototramp and manual photography.
