Avian inventory through the use of mobile applications to strengthening aviturisming in el magdalena
This article highlights the impact of emerging technologies on bird research and monitoring, with an emphasis on the use of mobile applications that enable species identification through photographs and calls. These tools have transformed fieldwork, benefiting both researchers and birdwatchers. The presentation focuses on an avian inventory conducted in two areas of the Magdalena Department: the Lower Toribio River Zone and the Minca Pozo Azul Zone. The paper also explores the potential of these apps to enrich biodiversity inventories, strengthen citizen science, and promote conservation.To develop this study, the transect and observation point methods were used. Species richness and abundance were recorded in both areas using specialized apps that capture images and bird calls for identification purposes.The results show significant differences in species diversity and avian community structure between the two areas. The Minca Pozo Azul Zone had lower species richness (12 families) and a lower total number of individuals (52), compared to the Lower Toribio River Zone, which recorded 23 families and 67 individuals.The indices used included the Margalef, Shannon, and Simpson indices. The results indicated greater diversity in the Lower Toribio River Zone according to the Margalef and Shannon indices, while the Minca Pozo Azul Zone showed lower species dominance according to the Simpson index.
