Vertebrate monitoring in the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest at AU10A3 (145.52522419, -17.70193123, 1000.0m 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，科研人员已在澳大利亚湿热带雨林（Australian Wet Tropics）的永久性监测站点对雨林脊椎动物开展长期监测工作。随着采样规模逐步扩大至覆盖整个澳大利亚湿热带雨林区域，该类调查自1997年后便以不同起始时间在斯派克（Spec）、阿瑟顿（Atherton）、温莎（Windsor）、卡宾（Carbine）及贝伦登克尔高地（Bellenden Ker Uplands）持续推进。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（Microhylidae）蛙类以及哺乳动物（采用聚光灯调查法）。
