Vertebrate monitoring in the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest at CU10A3 (145.27947972, -16.55469671, 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，科研团队已在澳大利亚湿热带（Australian Wet Tropics）雨林的永久性监测点位对雨林脊椎动物开展长期监测。随着采样规模逐步扩大至覆盖整个湿热带区域，1997年之后以不同起始时间启动的持续性调查已覆盖Spec、阿瑟顿（Atherton）、温莎（Windsor）、卡宾（Carbine）与贝伦登克尔高地（Bellenden Ker Uplands）区域。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（microhylid frogs）蛙类，以及采用聚光灯法监测的哺乳类。
