Vertebrate monitoring in the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest at AU8A3 (145.63358971, -17.60213433, 800.0m above MSL) collected by Transect surveys for birds

Rainforest vertebrates have been monitored at permanent monitoring sites across the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest since 1997. Such surveys have been conducted on an ongoing basis across the Spec, Atherton, Windsor, Carbine and Bellenden Ker Uplands from various start dates after 1997 as the scale of sampling expanded to encompass the Wet Tropics region. Vertebrate taxa systematically surveyed include birds, reptiles, microhylid frogs, and mammals (spotlighting).

自1997年以来，澳大利亚湿热带雨林的永久性监测点持续对雨林脊椎动物进行监测。1997年后，随着采样规模扩大至覆盖整个湿热带区域，此类调查从不同起始日期开始，在Spec、阿瑟顿、温莎、卡宾和贝伦登克尔高地持续开展。系统调查的脊椎动物分类群包括鸟类、爬行动物、姬蛙科蛙类以及哺乳动物（灯光诱捕法，spotlighting）。
