Vertebrate monitoring in the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest at CU6A0 (145.30608083, -16.57915979, 600.0m above MSL) collected by Mammal survey - spotlighting

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年起，科研人员便在覆盖澳大利亚湿热带雨林（Australian Wet Tropics）全域的永久性监测站点中开展雨林脊椎动物监测工作。随着采样规模逐步扩大至整个湿热带雨林区域，后续在1997年之后的多个不同起始时间，针对Spec、Atherton、Windsor、Carbine及Bellenden Ker高地持续开展了此类调查。本次系统调查涵盖的脊椎动物类群包括鸟类、爬行类、细趾蟾科（Microhylidae）蛙类以及采用聚光灯法监测的哺乳类。
