Vertebrate monitoring in the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest at SU8A1 (146.21975969, -19.01064104, 844.0m 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，科研人员便在澳大利亚湿热带雨林（Australian Wet Tropics）全域的永久性监测站点持续开展雨林脊椎动物监测工作。随着采样规模逐步扩展至整个湿热带雨林区域，研究团队自1997年后的多个不同起始日期起，在Spec、阿瑟顿（Atherton）、温莎（Windsor）、卡宾（Carbine）以及贝伦登克尔高地（Bellenden Ker Uplands）陆续开展了持续性调查。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（microhylid frogs）蛙类以及采用聚光灯监测法的哺乳类。
