Vertebrate monitoring in the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest at AU10A0 (145.52383017, -17.70292382, 1000.0m 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，研究人员便在澳大利亚湿热带雨林（Australian Wet Tropics rainforest）的永久性监测点位对雨林脊椎动物开展常态化监测。随着采样规模逐步扩展至整个湿热带雨林区域，自1997年后的多个不同起始节点起，针对斯佩普（Spec）、阿瑟顿（Atherton）、温莎（Windsor）、卡宾（Carbine）以及贝伦登克尔高地（Bellenden Ker Uplands）的此类监测工作便持续推进。系统调查涵盖的脊椎动物类群包括鸟类、爬行类、姬蛙类（microhylid frogs）以及采用聚光灯巡查法（spotlighting）监测的哺乳动物。
