Resumen
El principal objetivo de este estudio fue el elaborar un diagnóstico del estado de organización, manejo y conservación de la colección mastozoológica del Museo de Zoología de la Universidad de Guayaquil (MZUG). Se realizó una exploración de los especímenes de la colección de mamíferos, asimismo, se examinó el estado de conservación de las muestras y se actualizó la identificación taxonómica. Los datos recolectados de los especímenes presentes en la colección se agruparon dentro de 16 campos en Microsoft Excel. Por último, para el análisis de la información se utilizaron los criterios básicos para indicadores como representatividad taxonómica, identificación, completitud, y representatividad de especies en peligro. Se halló un nivel de representatividad taxonómica de 23,6%. En cuanto a la identificación taxonómica se registró un alto porcentaje con 91%; por otro lado, se halló un 88% en completitud de datos, lo que representa un alto porcentaje de información documentada y registrada. Para la categoría de amenaza dentro de la colección se encontró un porcentaje bajo del 32,55% de especies registradas en amenazas, frente a las reportadas para el Ecuador. En general, la colección de mamíferos del MZUG se encuentra en buen estado ya que presenta gran representatividad en cuanto a indicadores de biodiversidad.

Exploration of specimens from the mammal collection, as well as examined the samples and updated the taxonomic identification were made. The data collected from the specimens found in the collection were grouped into 16 fields in Microsoft Excel. Finally, it was used basic criteria to analyze the information for indicators such as taxonomic representation, identification, completeness, and representativeness of endangered species. A level of taxonomic representation of 23.6% was obtained. In terms of taxonomic identification, there was a high percentage of species registered (91%). On the other hand, a high percentage of information documented and registered were found (88%). For the threat category there was a low percentage of species registered as threats (32.55%), compared to those reported for Ecuador. In general, the collection of mammals of the MZUG are in good condition whereas it presents great representativeness in terms of biodiversity indicators.
