Vertebrate monitoring in the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest at BK16A1 (145.85388548, -17.26367398, 1600.0m 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，研究团队已在澳大利亚湿热带（Australian Wet Tropics）雨林的永久性监测站点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，针对Spec、阿瑟顿（Atherton）、温莎（Windsor）、卡宾（Carbine）以及贝伦登克尔高地（Bellenden Ker Uplands）的相关调查，自1997年之后的多个不同起始时间起持续进行。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，以及采用聚光灯监测法的哺乳类动物。
