ʻO ka Venus Flytrap kahi mea kanu maʻamau i nā kahū o ka hikina o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Ke nānā aku nei ia e like me kahi pua maʻamau me kahi kumu lōʻihi, akā he hiʻohiʻona hoihoi kona. He mea ʻaihue ia. Hoʻopili ka Venus flytrap i ka hopu ʻana a me ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i nā ʻano meaola like ʻole.
Pehea ke ʻano o ka pua ʻaihue?
Ma waho, ʻaʻole kēia kahi mea kanu i ʻike nui ʻia, e ʻōlelo paha kekahi, he mauʻu. ʻO ka nui nui e hiki i nā lau maʻamau ke loaʻa he 7 mau kenimika wale nō. ʻOiaʻiʻo, aia nā lau nui ma ke koʻokoʻo, e ʻike ʻia ma hope o ka pua ʻana.
ʻO ka inflorescence o ka lele lele ʻo Venus e like me nā pua o kahi cherry manu maʻamau. ʻO kēia ka pua lahilahi o ka pua lahilahi, me ka nui o nā petal a me nā stamens melemele. Aia ia ma kahi kumu lōʻihi, e ulu nei i kēia nui no ke kumu. Hoʻokomo ʻia ka pua ma kahi mamao loa mai nā lau pahele i ʻole e loaʻa lākou i nā mea kolo pollinating.
Ulu ʻo Venus flytrap ma nā wahi pohō. ʻAʻohe nui o ka momona o ka lepo ma aneʻi. Aia ka liʻiliʻi o ka nitrogen i loko ona, a ʻo ia ka mea e pono ai no ka ulu maʻamau o ka hapa nui o nā mea kanu, me ka flycatcher. Hoʻomaka ka hana o ka evolution i kahi ala i hoʻomaka ai ka pua e lawe i nā meaʻai na lākou iho ʻaʻole mai ka lepo, akā mai nā ʻelala. Ua hana ʻo ia i kahi mea hana hoʻopunipuni maʻalea e pani koke i kahi mea kūpono kūpono iā ia iho.
Pehea e hiki ai kēia?
ʻO nā lau i manaʻo ʻia no ka hopu ʻana i nā nūhou i ʻelua mau ʻāpana. Aia nā lauoho ikaika ma ka lihi o kēlā me kēia ʻāpana. ʻO kekahi ʻano huluhulu, liʻiliʻi a lahilahi, uhi paʻa i ka ʻili holoʻokoʻa o ka lau. ʻO lākou nā "sensor" ʻoiaʻiʻo loa e hoʻopaʻa inoa i ka hoʻopili o ka pepa me kekahi mea.
Hana ka pahele i ka pani koke ʻana i nā ʻāpana lau a hana i ka lua paʻa i loko. Hoʻomaka kēia hana e like me ka algorithm koʻikoʻi a paʻakikī hoʻi. Ua hōʻike ʻia ka nānā ʻana i nā lele lele venus i ka hāʻule ʻana o ka lau ma hope o ka hōʻike ʻana i ʻelua mau lauoho ʻokoʻa a ma kahi o ʻelua mau kekona. No laila, pale ʻia ka pua mai nā mea hoʻopunipuni ke paʻi i ka lau, ʻo kahi laʻana, e heleleʻi ka ua.
Inā pae ka ʻenemi ma kahi lau, a laila hiki ʻole ke hoʻonāukiuki i nā lauoho like ʻole a pani ka lau. Hana kēia i ka wikiwiki e hiki ʻole i nā kolo kiki a wīwī ke loaʻa ka manawa e pakele ai.
Eia hou, aia kekahi pale hou aʻe: inā ʻaʻohe mea e neʻe i loko a ʻaʻole hoʻonāukiuki ʻia nā lauoho hōʻailona, ʻaʻole hoʻomaka ka hana o ka hana ʻana i nā enzyme digestive a ma hope o kekahi manawa e wehe ana ka hei. Eia nō naʻe, i ke ola, ke hoʻāʻo nei ka ʻenekini e puka, hoʻopā i nā "sensors" a hoʻomaka koke ka "wai digestive" e komo i ka pahele.
ʻO ke kāhi ʻana o ka mea pio i ka flytrap Venus kahi hana lōʻihi a hiki i 10 mau lā. Ma hope o ka wehe ʻana o ka lau, waiho wale kahi pūpū chitin hakahaka i loko ona. ʻO kēia mea, ʻo ia ka ʻāpana o ke ʻano o nā mea kolo he nui, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻai ʻia e ka pua.
He aha ka ʻai a ka Venus flytrap?
ʻAno ʻokoʻa ka papa ʻaina pua. Hoʻopili kēia me ka ʻaneʻane o nā mea kolo āpau i hiki ke kiʻi i ka lau. ʻO nā hoʻokoe wale nō he nui a ikaika loa nā laha. ʻO ka lele "ʻai" a ka Venus flytrap, nā nalo, nā nananana, nā ʻūhini a me nā slug hoʻi.
Ua ʻike nā ʻepekema i kahi pākēneka i ka papa kuhikuhi pua. ʻO kahi laʻana, hoʻopau ka mea kanu predatory i 5% o nā ʻelele lele, 10% o nā nalo, 10% o nā ʻūhini, a me 30% o nā nananana. Akā ʻo ka hapanui pinepine, nā ʻāpana lele lele ʻo Venus ma nā ʻoni. Noho lākou i 33% o ka nui o nā holoholona i hoʻoiho ʻia.
