Vertebrate monitoring in the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest at SU8A3 (146.22302276, -19.01178441, 800.0m 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年起，科研人员已在澳大利亚湿热带（Australian Wet Tropics）雨林的永久监测点位对雨林脊椎动物开展持续监测。随着采样规模逐步扩展至覆盖整个湿热带区域，研究团队自1997年后的多个不同起始日期，在Spec、阿瑟顿（Atherton）、温莎（Windsor）、卡宾（Carbine）以及贝伦登克尔高地（Bellenden Ker Uplands）持续开展此类调查。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）动物，以及采用聚光灯监测法（spotlighting）进行监测的哺乳动物。
