Vertebrate monitoring in the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest at SU10A1 (146.15677083, -19.01568727, 1000.0m 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，研究人员便在澳大利亚湿润热带（Australian Wet Tropics）雨林的永久性监测点位持续开展雨林脊椎动物监测工作。随着采样范围逐步扩大至覆盖整个湿润热带区域，自1997年后的多个不同起始节点起，研究团队已在Spec、Atherton、Windsor、Carbine及Bellenden Ker高地持续推进此类调查。经系统调查的脊椎动物类群涵盖鸟类、爬行类、姬蛙科（microhylid frogs）蛙类以及采用聚光灯法监测的哺乳类。
