Vertebrate monitoring in the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest at AU6A6 (145.71246535, -17.67597315, 600.0m 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，科研团队已在澳大利亚湿热带雨林（Australian Wet Tropics）全域的永久性监测点位持续开展雨林脊椎动物监测工作。随着采样规模逐步扩大至覆盖整个湿热带雨林区域，后续针对斯佩普（Spec）、阿瑟顿（Atherton）、温莎（Windsor）、卡宾（Carbine）与贝伦登克尔高地（Bellenden Ker Uplands）开展的同类持续调查，均于1997年之后的不同起始日期启动。本次系统调查涵盖的脊椎动物类群包括鸟类、爬行类、姬蛙科蛙类（microhylid frogs）以及采用聚光灯追踪法（spotlighting）开展调查的哺乳动物类群。
