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 6 points along a 1 km site for which amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals are surveyed. The dataset here represents the monitoring at 700 m, 900 m and 1100 m asl on Mt Edith in the Lamb Range Uplands.
