ʻO ka pāpale lio ʻo Horseshoe kahi mea kolo i noho ma ka Honua ma mua o 200 miliona mau makahiki i hala. ʻIke ʻia kona mau koena i nā papa o ka ʻeli kahiko, a hiki ke loaʻa nā pahi kaua ola ma nā wahi āpau - mai ka Lūkini Hikina Lūkia a ʻAmelika Hema.
ʻO wai ka pāpaʻi lio?
Ma waho, ʻike nā pāpaʻi lio. Hiki i ka mea nānā ke ʻike wale i kahi pale horny nui e piʻi ana i 60 mau kenimika ke anawaena a me kahi huelo lōʻihi pololei. Hōʻike ka ʻaoʻao "kua" o ka mea ola i nā wāwae he nui, a ʻo ke ʻano o ia ʻano like me nā pepeke. Wahi a ka hoʻohālikelike olaola, ʻo ka pāpaʻi lio ka mea pili i nā nananawewe, akā he kamaʻāina kai maoli ia. ʻAi nā pāpaʻi lio ma nā molluscs, nā ʻano ilo wai like ʻole a me nā limu.
Ua loaʻa i kēia arthropod kona inoa mai kona pale a me ka huelo. ʻO ka hope, e ke ala, lako pono me nā mea kaua weliweli. Ma ka hopena aia kahi ʻōkalaioa ʻoi loa, me ka pāpaʻi lio e pale aku iā ia iho, e hoʻokau ana i ka pahi a ʻokiʻoki ʻana i nā hahau. Ma waho aʻe o nā hōʻeha, hiki i ka mea ola ke "uku" i ka lawehala me ka lāʻau make, e hoʻoulu ana i ka mumū a me nā hopena maʻi ʻaʻai.
Kūkulu pāpale lio
ʻEkolu mau ʻāpana Horseshoe crab - ka cephalothorax, ʻōpū a me ka huelo. Loaʻa i nā mea mua ʻelua ka uhi o luna i ke ʻano o nā scute ikaika. Ma muli o ka loaʻa ʻole o nā hono ma waena o nā scutes, ʻaʻole ka mea o ka pahi kaua e keakea i kāna neʻe a maʻalahi hoʻi e neʻe.
Hoʻokele ʻia ka pāpaʻi lio e ʻelima mau lālā o ka lālā. He ikaika loa kēia "pāpaʻi", a mahalo i ke kinona kūikawā o kona pale, ua hiki ke neʻe i ke one pulu, e kanu ʻia ana i loko ona no kekahi mau kenimika. Me kēia ʻano neʻe ʻana, "palau" ka pāpaʻi lio i ke one, me ka waiho ʻana i kahi ʻāʻī hoʻoweliweli ma hope o ia.
Ma ka laulā, he ʻeono mau lālā o ka pā lio, ʻokoʻa nā ʻano o nā hana. ʻO ka mea mua ka mea liʻiliʻi loa. ʻO kēia ka chelicera i kapa ʻia, no ka wili ʻana i ka meaʻai. ʻEhā pālua wāwae e hele wāwae ana i lako me nā māiʻuʻu. Aia kekahi pai kuʻuna kūikawā e ʻae ai i nā pāpaʻi lio e hoʻokuke i ka kai a ʻauʻau.
Pāpaʻi lio ma kahakai
ʻO ka nohona pāpale lio
He mea kai ke pāpaʻi lio, ʻo ia ke kumu e manaʻo ai ka poʻe he crab. Noho ia ma ka hohonu o 10 a 40 mau mika, e pili ana i nā wahi o ka lalo me kahi papa silt hohonu. ʻO ka lōʻihi o ke ola o nā pā lio ke hiki aku i iwakālua mau makahiki, no laila ua oʻo lākou i ka moekolohe ma ka ʻumi mau makahiki o ke ola.
Piʻi nā pā lio ma ka ʻāina. ʻO ia wale nō paha ke kumu e hiki ai iā ia ke haʻalele iā ia i ke kai. Hana ʻia ka hana hou ʻana ma ke kau ʻana i nā hua liʻiliʻi e like me nā hua manu. ʻO ke anawaena o ka hua manu nui he 3.5 mm. Lawe ʻia ʻo Clutch i loko o kahi lua one i hoʻomākaukau ʻia, kahi e hiki ai i kahi pāpaʻi lio wahine ke waiho i nā hua he 1.000.
He weliweli anei nā pāpaʻi lio no nā kānaka?
Hiki i ke kamaʻilio amateur me nā pā pā lio ke alakaʻi i ka ʻeha. E like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia ma luna, pale ʻia ia e kahi kui ʻoi loa ma ka hope o kāna huelo a hiki ʻole ke kui wale, akā e hoʻopili pū i ka lāʻau make. No kahi kanaka olakino, ʻaʻole make kēia lāʻau make, akā hiki ke kumu i kahi hopena maʻi ʻaʻa.
I ka manawa like, ua aʻo ka poʻe i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā pāpaʻi lio no nā kumu maikaʻi. Hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi mea mai kona koko, i hoʻohana ʻia e hoʻāʻo i nā hoʻomākaukau lapaʻau no ka sterility. No ka loaʻa ʻana o ka lāʻau, hopu ʻia ka pāpaʻi lio a "hāʻawi i ke koko". Ma hope ua hoʻihoʻi ʻia i ke kūʻokoʻa, i kona wahi maoli.
Inā ʻoe e hoʻomanaʻo i ka huaʻōlelo "ke koko polū", a laila pili kēia i ka pāpaʻi lio. Loaʻa iā ia kahi nui o ke keleawe, a hāʻawi iā ia i ke kala polū kūlohelohe. Maliʻa paha kēia wale nō ka mea o kēia nui ʻaʻohe ona ʻulaʻula i kāna mea nui, pono, wai.
