Ufudu lwaseMuhlenberg marsh (Glyptemys muhlenbergii) lungolokuhlelwa kofudu, isigaba sezilwane ezihuquzelayo.
Ukusatshalaliswa kofudu lwexhaphozi laseMuhlenberg.
IMühlenberg Marsh Turtle inebanga elingahambelani futhi elihlukanisiwe empumalanga ye-United States of America. Kunezindawo ezimbili eziyinhloko: esenyakatho isatshalaliswa empumalanga yeNew York, entshonalanga yeMassachusetts, eningizimu esempumalanga yePennsylvania, eNew Jersey, enyakatho yeMaryland naseDelaware. Abantu baseNingizimu (imvamisa ezinkangala kuze kufike ezinyaweni ezingama-4,000) eSouth Virginia, entshonalanga yeNyakatho Carolina, empumalanga yeTennessee. Ufudu lwasemanzini lwaseMuhlenberg lungenye yezinhlobo zofudu eziyivelakancane eNyakatho Melika.
Indawo yokuhlala yemfudu yaseMühlenberg.
IMuhlenberg Marsh Turtle iyinhlobo ekhethekile kakhulu ehlala ezindaweni ezincanyana ezindaweni ezingamaxhaphozi ezimanzi, kusuka olwandle kuye ekuphakameni kwamamitha ayi-1,300. Kuvela kuma-peat bogs, amadokodo aphansi, izimfunda ezinomswakama, ama-sedge bogs ane-alder, larch, spruce ukukhula. Indawo ekahle yalezi zinhlobo yimifudlana emincane evulekile ngokugeleza kancane kwamanzi, imifula enezansi ezinodaka ezithambile kanye nezimila ezisogwini osebeni.
Izimpawu zangaphandle zofudu ixhaphozi laseMuhlenberg.
Ufudu lwexhaphozi iMühlenberg lungenye yezimfudu ezincane kunazo zonke emhlabeni. Ubude be-carapace bufinyelela ku-7.9 - 11.4 cm.Unsundu onsundu noma umbala omnyama futhi uhlukaniswa ngamabala akhanyayo kuma-vertebral and pleural scutes. Ezimfudu ezincane, amasongo avame ukubonakala, kepha igobolondo kuzinhlobo ezindala licishe libushelelezi.
Inhloko, intamo, izitho zomzimba zivamise ukuba nsundu ngombala nezindawo ezinombala ophuzi ngokubomvu nophuzi. Indawo enkulu ebomvu ngokubomvu iwolintshi ibonakala ngemuva, kwesinye isikhathi ihlangana ibhendi eqhubekayo entanyeni. Umhlathi ongaphezulu awutholakali kahle. I-plastron inombala onsundu noma omnyama, kepha imvamisa inamabala aphuzi ngokukhanyayo ohlangothini oluphakathi naphakathi. Indoda endala ineplastron ekhonjiwe nomsila omude, ojiyile. Insikazi ihlukaniswa ngeplastron eyisicaba nomsila omncane omncane.
Ukukhiqizwa kabusha kofudu lwexhaphozi laseMuhlenberg.
Ukukhwelana kofudu baseMühlenberg kwenzeka entwasahlobo kusuka ngoMashi kuya kuMeyi. Ngesikhathi sokuqomisana, owesilisa uluma ikhanda, izitho, igobolondo lowesifazane.
Isikhathi sokwakha isidleke siqala maphakathi nenyanga kaMeyi kuya ekuqaleni kukaJulayi, kanti amaqanda amaningi abekwa ngoJuni.
Ekufuneni izidleke, abesifazane bavame ukuthuthela ezindaweni eziphakeme, ezingamanzi kangcono, yize kwesinye isikhathi izidleke zihlelwa maphakathi kwamaqhuqhuva e-sedge azungezwe amanzi. Kunoma ikuphi, ukubeka isidleke endaweni evulekile, enelanga kungcono kwi-substrate emanzi. Izidleke zakhiwa izitho zangemuva, ngendlela ejwayelekile yofudu. Iqanda elilodwa kuya kwayisithupha lizalelwa kanye ngonyaka.
Amaqanda ahlukene, amhlophe ngegobolondo elithambile ngokwesilinganiso cishe esingu-3 cm ubude. Isikhathi sokufukamela sisukela ezinsukwini ezingama-45 kuye kwezingama-65. Izimfudu ezincane zinobude be-carapace obungu-21.1 kuye ku-28.5 mm. Zikhula ngokushesha okukhulu phakathi neminyaka embalwa yokuqala, bese yehlisa ijubane phakathi kweminyaka yobudala eyishumi kuya kweyishumi.
Ekuthunjweni, izimfudu zasolwandle zaseMühlenburg zihlala iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-40.
Ukuziphatha kofudu lwexhaphozi laseMuhlenberg.
Izimfudu zasolwandle zaseMühlenberg ngokuyinhloko ziyizilwane zasemini, yize kwesinye isikhathi zikhombisa umsebenzi wobusuku. Ngezinsuku ezipholile, bahlala bechitha isikhathi bethamela ilanga osebeni lwamanzi angajulile kumaqhubu, kepha uma kushisa bacasha phakathi kohlaza noma emigodini embiwe phakathi kwe-sphagnum.
Ebusika, izimfudu zaseMühlenberg bog ziyalala, zigobhoza odakeni noma ezimileni emanzini angajulile noma emigodini enezikhukhula. Ukuze kube nokulala ubusika bonke, izindawo ezifanayo zivame ukusetshenziselwa lapho kuhlangana khona amaqembu amafudu unyaka nonyaka. Ezinye izimfudu zasolwandle ziyindawo futhi zivikela ngolaka indawo encane eseduze kwayo enendawo engaba amamitha ayi-1.2.
Iqembu elincane lezimfudu lidinga cishe amahektha ayi-0.1 kuye kwayi-3.1 ukuze liphile.
Ukudla ufudu ixhaphozi laseMuhlenberg.
Izimfudu zasolwandle iMuhlenberg zingama-omnivores futhi zidla ukudla okutholakala emanzini. Badla ama-invertebrate amancane (izinambuzane, izibungu, iminenke, ama-crustaceans, izibungu). Kanye nembewu, amajikijolo, izingxenye eziluhlaza zezitshalo. Izilwane ezifile kanye nama-vertebrate amancane anjengezimpungushe, amaxoxo kanye nezibungu ze-salamander ziqoqwa ngezikhathi ezithile.
Okusho umuntu.
Izimfudu zikaMühlenberg zibhubhisa izinambuzane eziyingozi nezibungu. Kepha okuphawuleka kakhulu ukuthi lolu hlobo luthathwa njengomphumela oyingqayizivele wokuziphendukela kwemvelo ohlala uyinto evelele yemithombo yezilwane zasendle. Izimfudu ezingamaxhaphozi zaseMühlenberg zengeza kokwehlukahlukana kwezinto eziphilayo, azivamile, zisengozini futhi zisengozini. Lezi zimfudu zincane, zihle futhi ziyaheha, ezifunwa ngabathandi bezilwane futhi ziyinto.
Isimo sokonga sefudu ixhaphozi laseMuhlenberg.
Izimfudu ezikhohliwe zaseMühlenberg zisohlwini lwe-IUCN Red List of Threatened Species kanye ne-CITES Isithasiselo I. Indawo okuhlala kuyo izimfudu njengamanje yenza ushintsho olukhulu ngenxa yemisebenzi yabantu kanye nokugeleza kwamaxhaphozi. Abantu bezimfudu bayazwela ekuguqulweni kwendawo yokuhlala yemvelo ezindaweni zokwakha izidleke endaweni enezikhukhula, le mizila ivame ukuvinjelwa imigwaqo, amasimu, amadlelo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuhweba ngezilwane ezihuquzelayo ezingandile kuyaqhubeka ngokwephula imithetho yamazwe omhlaba yokuvikela izinhlobo zezinto eziphilayo.
Amanani aphezulu walolu hlobo lofudu enza ukuzingela ngokungemthetho kuchume yize kusongelwa izijeziso ezinzima.
Izimfudu ezingamaxhaphozi zaseMuhlenberg zinezitha eziningi zemvelo ezibhubhisa amaqanda nezimfudu ezincane, phakathi kwazo okukhona inani eliphakeme kakhulu lokufa kwabantu. Usayizi omncane wabantu ukhulisa ukuba sengozini kwabahlaseli. Inani eliphakeme ngokwemvelo lama-raccoon, amagwababa acindezela ukuvikelwa kohlobo olungavamile. Izimfudu zasolwandle zaseMühlenberg zibonakala ngokuzala okuphansi, hhayi ukukhiqizwa kwamaqanda okuphezulu kakhulu, ukuvuthwa sekwedlule isikhathi nesikhathi eside sokuvuthwa. Izici ezinjalo zomjikelezo wokuphila wezimfudu zasolwandle zikhawulela ukubuyiswa kwabantu ngokushesha. Ngasikhathi sinye, abantu abadala bazalela endaweni ehlangabezana namathonya ahlukahlukene e-anthropogenic, okuholela emazingeni aphezulu okufa ngokungajwayelekile phakathi kwezimfudu ezikhulayo nezindala. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuhlukaniswa kwezindawo zokuhlala kwandisa ubungozi bethonya lokushintshaniswa kwezakhi zofuzo okulinganiselwe kanye nokuvela kokuzalelana okusondelene kakhulu.
Izinyathelo zokongiwa kwemvelo zifaka phakathi ukuhlonza izindawo ezibucayi ezisesimweni esibucayi, ukuvikela izimfudu kubazingeli abazingela ngokungemthetho, ukuphathwa komhlaba okusimeme, kanye nezinhlelo zokuzalela izithunjwa zaseMühlenberg.
