Biodiversity collections allow making decisions for the preservation of an ecosystem since they have a relationship between the increase or decrease in species population linked to the erosion of their habitat. Therefore, the growth of these collections has driven the need to migrate towards biodiversity management systems that follow the life cycle established by Software Engineering. It is crucial to have up-to-date knowledge about the state of the art in biodiversity collection management systems, understanding the strategies implemented along with the benefits for academic research. This motivates the future implementation of systems, providing a foundation for the elements to consider in their construction. For this reason, a systematic literature mapping was carried out based on the Kitchenham guide, addressing the characteristics and efforts in this field.The findings reveal: (i) The development of biodiversity collection management systems is experiencing significant growth nationally, with universities starting to implement them in their herbaria. (ii) The predominant technology used is PHP in the Laravel framework, mainly due to its built-in functions that facilitate the development of applications with limited resources. (iii) The most used standards are the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature and the Darwin Core. (iv) Biodiversity collection management systems offer substantial benefits by maintaining consistency and accessibility of data, thus facilitating decision- making for biodiversity preservation. (v) Quality attributes of interest include accessibility, ease of learning, adequate recognition, real-time performance, and interoperability that can support the definition of non-functional requirements during system development. (vi) Biodiversity collection management systems at the local level show a higher frequency of development in the botanical domain compared to the zoological, primarily due to the ease of collection. These findings provide a solid justification for the implementation of biodiversity collection management systems, along with guidelines for their main functionalities and relevant quality attributes. Additionally, they offer a valuable starting point for the development of future systems in this domain.
