Vertebrate monitoring in the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest at AU4A6 (145.77416589, -17.60782846, 400.0m 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 Rainforest）的永久性监测站点对雨林脊椎动物开展长期监测工作。随着采样规模逐步扩展至整个湿热带地区，后续于1997年之后的不同起始时间，在斯派克（Spec）、阿瑟顿（Atherton）、温莎（Windsor）、卡宾（Carbine）以及贝伦登克尔高地（Bellenden Ker Uplands）持续推进了此类调查。系统调查覆盖的脊椎动物类群包括鸟类、爬行类、姬蛙科（Microhylidae）蛙类以及采用夜间聚光灯法监测的哺乳类。
