Coloration

All this recent talk about pre-amp noise and microphone noise has me
wondering about coloration in nature recording. Unless people are using
omni microphones (and recent posting suggest people are using hypers and
shotguns) then there will be some frequency bumps and drops. This in
addition to some of the preamps talked about leads me to believe that
there will be some alteration in the sound. As a very rank amateur in
this field (although I have done my time in a studio), I'm wondering if
this matters much or since most people are trying to capture a specific
species of animal this doesn't play that big of a role. Anyhow, I'm
curious how all this plays into this field.
