Vertebrate monitoring in the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest at CU10A6 (145.28078646, -16.55102963, 1000.0m 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，科研团队已在澳大利亚湿热带（Australian Wet Tropics）雨林的永久性监测点位开展雨林脊椎动物监测工作。随着采样范围逐步拓展至整个湿热带区域，研究团队自1997年之后的不同起始时间，先后在Spec、阿瑟顿（Atherton）、温莎（Windsor）、卡宾（Carbine）与贝伦登克尔高地（Bellenden Ker Uplands）持续推进此类调查。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）蛙类以及采用聚光灯监测法的哺乳类。
