Vertebrate monitoring in the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest at WU11A2 (145.04379546, -16.25913233, 1100.0m 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，研究人员已在澳大利亚湿热带雨林（Australian Wet Tropics）的永久性监测站点对雨林脊椎动物开展监测工作。随着采样范围逐步覆盖整个湿热带雨林区域，自1997年后的多个不同起始时间起，研究团队相继在斯佩茨（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。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，以及通过夜间聚光灯监测法（spotlighting）开展调查的哺乳类。
