I-Aiolot (Bipes biporus) noma isibankwa saseMexico sise-oda le-squamous.
Ukusatshalaliswa kwe-aiolot.
I-Iolot itholakala kuphela eBaja California, eMexico. Ububanzi budlulela ngaphesheya kwengxenye eseningizimu yeBaja California Peninsula, entshonalanga yezintaba. Lezi zinhlobo zihlala kude naseningizimu neCabo San Lucas nasenyakatho nentshonalanga ye-Vizcaino Desert.
Izindawo ze-Aiolot.
I-Ayolot iyinhlobo ejwayelekile yasehlane. Ukusatshalaliswa kwalo kufaka ugwadule iVizcaino kanye nesifunda saseMagdalena, ngoba inhlabathi ivulekile futhi yomile lapho. Isimo sezulu kulezi zindawo sipholile impela ngezikhathi zonyaka.
Izimpawu zangaphandle ze-aiolot.
I-Aiolot ingakhonjwa kalula ngesincane, esinezikali ezinamakhanda ekhanda, umzimba oyindilinga ombozwe izikali ngendlela yamasongo amile kanye nemigqa emibili yama-pores. Izibankwa ezisakhula zinombala opinki kakhulu, kepha zizophenduka zibe mhlophe njengoba zikhula. Abesilisa nabesifazane bayafana, ngakho-ke ubunikazi bobulili bunganqunywa kuphela ngama-gonads.
I-Aiolot yehlukile ezinhlotsheni ezihlobene zomndeni iBipedidae ngoba inezitho zomzimba.
Wonke amanye amalungu aleli qembu awanamlenze ngokuphelele. I-aiolot inezindonga ezingaphambili ezincane ezinamandla ezikhethekile ekumbeni. Ilungu ngalinye linamazipho amahlanu. Uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye izinhlobo ezimbili ezihlobene, i-aiolot inomsila omfushane kunayo yonke. Ine-autotomy (ukwehla komsila), kepha ukubuyela kwayo kabusha akwenzeki. Umsila we-autotomy uvela phakathi kwamasongo ayi-6-10 we-caudal. Kunobudlelwano obuthandekayo phakathi komsila wokuzenzakalela nosayizi womzimba. Njengoba izinhlobo ezinkulu zivame ukuba zindala, kungaphethwa ngokuthi izinhlobo ezindala zisethubeni lokuhlala zingenamsila kunezinhlobo ezincane. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi izilwane ezidla ezinye ngokuyinhloko zihlasela izibankwa ezinkulu.
Ukukhiqizwa kabusha kwe-aiolot.
Ama-Aiolots azala kahle unyaka nonyaka, futhi ukuzalanisa akuxhomekile emvuleni yonyaka futhi kuyaqhubeka ngisho nangesikhathi sesomiso. Lezi yizibankwa ezivundlile. Abesifazane abakhulu bavame ukubeka amaqanda amaningi kunabesifazane abancane. E bamba kukhona amaqanda 1 kuya ku-4.
Ukukhula kwemibungu kuthatha cishe izinyanga ezimbili, kepha akukho lwazi lokuthi abesifazane bawavikela kanjani amaqanda futhi bakhombise noma yiluphi uhlobo lokunakekelwa kwenzalo. Amaqanda abekwa ngoJuni-Julayi.
Izibankwa ezisencane ziyabonwa ekupheleni kukaSepthemba. Abesifazane bafinyelela ekuvuthweni ngokocansi cishe ezinyangeni ezingama-45 ubudala, kanti abesifazane abaningi bangama-185 mm ubude. Benza i-clutch eyodwa kuphela ngonyaka. Ukuthomba sekwedlule isikhathi kanye nosayizi omncane we-clutch kukhombisa ukuthi izinga lokuzala elihamba kancane lalezi zinhlobo kunalelo lezinye izibankwa. Izibankwa ezisencane azihlukile kakhulu kubantu abadala ngosayizi. Ngenxa yendlela yokuphila ngokufihla nokufihla yama-aiolots nobunzima bokubamba izilwane ezihuquzelayo, indlela yokuziphatha yokuzala yama-aiolots ayifundiswanga ngokwanele. Akwaziwa ukuthi lezi zibankwa zihlala isikhathi esingakanani emvelweni. Ekuthunjweni, abantu abadala baphila iminyaka emithathu nezinyanga ezintathu.
Ukuziphatha kwe-Aiolot.
Ama-Iolots yizibankwa ezihlukile njengoba enekhono elandayo lokulawula i-thermoregulation. Izilwane ezihuquzelayo yizilwane ezinegazi elibandayo, izinga lokushisa komzimba wazo lincike ekushiseni kwenhlabathi. Ama-Iolots angalawula ukushisa komzimba wawo ngokuhamba ajule noma asondele ngaphezulu komhlaba ngemigudu engaphansi komhlaba. Lezi zibankwa zenza uhlelo oluyinkimbinkimbi lwemigodi ehamba ngaphansi komhlaba ngokuvundlile ngezansi nje kwenhlabathi. Izinhlelo ezinjalo zivame ukufika ngaphansi kwamatshe noma izingodo.
Ama-Aiolots agubha izibankwa, imingxuma yawo isukela ku-2.5 cm kuya ku-15 cm ukujula, futhi amapaseji amaningi abekwa ekujuleni kuka-4 cm.
Bachitha amahora asekuseni apholile eduze kobuso bomhlaba, kuthi lapho izinga lokushisa elizungezile likhuphuka emini, ama-aiolot acwila ajule enhlabathini. Ikhono lokushisa nokuhlala ezindaweni ezifudumele, zivumela lezi zibankwa ukuthi zihlale zisebenza unyaka wonke ngaphandle kokulala. Ama-Iolot ahamba ngendlela eyinqaba esebenzisa umzimba wawo ovulekile, ingxenye yawo esebenza njengehange, ehlala endaweni eyodwa, kuyilapho ingxenye engaphambili idonselwa phambili. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukusetshenziswa kwamandla ukunyakaza kukonga impela. Lapho kwakhiwa futhi kunwetshwa imihubhe engaphansi komhlaba, izibankwa zandisa amapaseji azo nangaphambili, zisusa isikhala enhlabathini futhi zihambise imizimba yazo phambili.
Ama-Iolot anesakhiwo esikhethekile esiyingqayizivele sendlebe yangaphakathi ekuvumela ukuthi unqume ukuhamba kwezilwane ngaphezulu kobuso lapho izibankwa zingaphansi komhlaba. Ama-Aiolot azingelwa ama-skunks nezimbila, ngakho-ke izilwane ezihuquzelayo zilahla umsila wazo, ziphazamisa umhlaseli. Lokhu kuziphatha okuvikelayo kukuvumela ukuthi uvale imbobo, kanti isibankwa sibaleka ngalesi sikhathi. Kodwa-ke, ama-aiolots awakwazi ukubuyisa umsila wawo olahlekile ngemuva kokuhlangana nomzingeli, ngakho-ke abantu abadala abangenawo umsila bavame ukutholakala phakathi kwabo.
Ukudla okunomsoco we-Aiolot.
AmaIolots yizilwane ezidla ezinye. Zidla izintuthwane, amaqanda ezintuthwane neziphungumangathi, amaphela, umuhlwa, izibungu zebhungane nezinye izinambuzane, kanye nezinye izinambuzane ezingenamgogodla. Lezi zibankwa zithathwa njengezilwane ezihlasela izinhloso ezijwayelekile ngoba zibamba noma yisiphi isisulu sosayizi ofanele ezihlangana nazo. Uma bethola inani elikhulu lezintuthwane, badla ukudla okwanele ukuze baneliseke, kodwa kamuva badle iphela elilodwa kuphela labantu abadala. Ama-iolots, athumba isisulu, acasha ngokushesha. Njengezinye ezinamakhasi amaningi, amazinyo anamathele emihlathini asebenzela ekuqothuleni izinambuzane.
Indima ye-ecosystem ye-aiolot.
Ama-Iolot asemvelweni angabathengi futhi ayizilwane ezidlayo ezidla izinambuzane ezingenamgogodla zasemhlabeni. Lezi zibankwa zilawula inani lezilokazane ezithile ngokudla izibungu, izinambuzane kanye nezibungu zazo. Ngokulandelayo, ama-aiolots angumthombo wokudla wezinyoka ezincane ezigqobayo.
Okusho umuntu.
Ngenxa yesibalo esikhulu sezinambuzane namanye ama-invertebrate amancane ama-aiolots adlayo, asiza kakhulu futhi awazilimazi izilimo zezolimo. Kepha abantu kwesinye isikhathi bayazibulala lezi zibankwa, besaba ukubonakala kwazo futhi bazenze izinyoka.
Isimo sokongiwa kwe-aiolot.
I-Aiolot ibhekwa njengezinhlobo ezinabantu abaningi abazinzile, ezingasongelwa ngokuqothulwa. Lesi sibankwa siyakwazi ukuzivumelanisa nezimo eziguqukayo. Uma uyiphazamisa, izobe isimba ijule emhlabathini. I-Aiolot ifihla ngaphansi komhlaba isikhathi esiningi, ngaleyo ndlela inciphisa umhlaseli kanye nemithonya ye-anthropogenic. Lolu hlobo lutholakala kwezinye izindawo ezivikelekile, ngakho-ke izindlela zokongiwa kwezilwane zasendle ziyasebenza kuyo ngaphansi komthetho kazwelonke. Kuhlu Olubomvu lwe-IUCN, i-aiolot ihlukaniswe njengezinhlobo ezingakhathazeki kangako.
