Vertebrate monitoring in the Australian Wet Tropics rainforest at BK16A5 (145.85825577, -17.26121346, 1600.0m 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，科研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监测工作。随着采样规模逐步扩展至覆盖整片湿热带雨林区域，自1997年之后的多个不同起始时间，针对Spec、Atherton、Windsor、Carbine及Bellenden Ker高地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、姬蛙类（microhylid frogs）以及采用聚光灯法监测的哺乳动物。
