- Abstract
-
Monitoring of distributional and abundance data for Australian tropical rainforest vertebrates is required to inform a wide range of comparative studies on the determinants of biodiversity and assess the impacts of global climate change. The data set here serves as a single monitoring transect for which data was collected using standardised survey techniques to assess distribution and abundance of vertebrates. It is part of a larger monitoring project that bisects latitudinal and elevational gradients across 5 mountain ranges in the Wet Tropics region. A monitory transect is represented by 3 points along a 400m site for which birds are surveyed. The dataset here represents the monitoring at ~50m asl at the James Cook University Daintree Rainforest Observatory (TERN FNQ Supersite, Cape Tribulation node) at which biannual avifauna surveys will be conducted by The College of Marine and Environmental Sciences (CMES) at James Cook University (JCU) has a Memorandum of Understanding between TERN FNQ Rainforest SuperSite.

- Sampling Description
-
Bird surveys: 30 minute, 150m transects will be carried out at each of the three sampling points along the 400m transect. We will walk into the forest at each point, using a hip-chain to measure distance, and record all bird species that we see and hear. The sampling method has been standardised to enable comparisons of data collected at this point from year to year and season to season and across the altitudinal gradient. When recording data, we use codes to denote a bird’s position (if we know it) and the certainty (reliability index) of the sighting.
