Species-specific spectrograms showed distinct patterns between taxonomic groups.

The most numerous taxonomic group was arthropods (29 entries), followed by fishes (14 entries), amphibians (10 entries), macrophytes (7 entries), and a freshwater mollusk (1 entry).

Most submissions were from European countries (27 entries). The next most represented region was N. America (11 entries), followed by S. America (8 entries), Oceania and Asia (5 entries each), Africa (3 entries), and the Middle East and C. America with 1 entry each.

Pre-print out today: The Freshwater Sounds Archive! The world's first species-specific sound library for underwater freshwater species' sounds. - 61 entries . - 35 contributors (& you next?).- 16 countries .- 19 orders .
