Vertebrate monitoring in the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest at WU9A6 (145.0904224, -16.28658435, 900.0m above MSL) collected by Microhylid survey

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，科研人员已在澳大利亚湿热带雨林（Australian Wet Tropics Rainforest）的永久监测点位对雨林脊椎动物实施持续监测。随着采样范围扩展至整个湿热带雨林区域，自1997年后的多个不同起始节点，研究团队已在斯派克（Spec）、阿瑟顿（Atherton）、温莎（Windsor）、卡宾（Carbine）及贝勒登凯高原（Bellenden Ker Uplands）持续开展此类调查。本次系统调查覆盖的脊椎动物类群包括鸟类、爬行类、姬蛙科（microhylid frogs）蛙类，以及采用聚光灯法监测的哺乳类。
