Vertebrate monitoring in the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest at SU8A2 (146.22140011, -19.01134381, 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，科研团队便在澳大利亚湿热带雨林（Australian Wet Tropics）全域的永久性监测站点中，对雨林脊椎动物开展长期监测。随着采样规模逐步扩展至覆盖整个湿热带雨林区域，自1997年后的多个起始时间起，研究人员已在斯佩普（Spec）、阿瑟顿（Atherton）、温莎（Windsor）、卡宾（Carbine）以及贝伦登克尔高地（Bellenden Ker Uplands）持续开展此类调查工作。本次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）蛙类，以及通过夜间灯光取样法监测的哺乳类。
