Vertebrate monitoring in the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest at SU6A0 (146.24308326, -19.00261368, 0.0m 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年起，研究团队便在澳大利亚湿热带雨林（Australian Wet Tropics Rainforest）的永久性监测点位开展雨林脊椎动物监测工作。随着采样范围逐步扩展至整个湿热带雨林区域，针对Spec、阿瑟顿（Atherton）、温莎（Windsor）、卡宾（Carbine）以及贝伦登克尔高地（Bellenden Ker Uplands）的持续性同类调查，均自1997年之后的不同起始日期陆续启动。本次系统性调查覆盖的脊椎动物类群包括鸟类、爬行类、细趾蟾科蛙类（microhylid frogs），以及采用聚光灯监测法（spotlighting）开展监测的哺乳类。
