Vertebrate monitoring in the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest at SU350A2 (146.26540374, -19.01484047, 330.0m above MSL) collected by Reptile Surveys

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，科研团队便在澳大利亚湿热带雨林（Australian Wet Tropics rainforest）内的永久性监测站点对雨林脊椎动物开展监测工作。随着采样规模逐步拓展至覆盖整个湿热带雨林区域，研究人员于1997年之后的多个不同起始时间，在Spec、Atherton、Windsor、Carbine及Bellenden Ker高地陆续开展了持续性调查。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（microhylid frogs）蛙类，以及采用聚光灯法监测的哺乳类动物。
