ʻO ka honu Muhlenberg marsh (Glyptemys muhlenbergii) pili i ke kauoha o ka honu, ka papa reptile.
Hoʻolahalaha o ka honu kai Muhlenberg.
ʻO ka Mühlenberg Marsh Turtle kahi kūlike ʻole a mahele liʻiliʻi i ka hikina o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. ʻElua mau heluna nui: ua māhele ʻia ka ʻākau ma ka hikina o New York, komohana Massachusetts, hema hikina ʻo Pennsylvania, New Jersey, ʻĀkau ʻo Maryland, a me Delaware. Ka heluna o ka Hema (ʻo ia hoʻi ma nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe a i 4,000 kapuaʻi) ma Virginia Hema, ma ke komohana o Karolina ʻĀkau, ma ka hikina ʻo Tennessee. ʻO ka honu hūhū Muhlenberg kekahi o nā lā manu honu rarest loa maʻAmelika Hema.
Mūhlenberg pohō noho honu.
ʻO ka Muhlenberg Marsh Turtle kahi ʻano laha nui e noho ana i kahi o nā wahi noho paʻa i nā biome ʻāina pāpaʻu, mai ka ʻilikai a i kahi kiʻekiʻe o 1,300 mau mika. Kū i loko o nā peat bogs, bogs low-lying bogs, damp meadows, sedge bogs with alder, larch, spruce ulu. ʻO ka nohona kūpono no kēia ʻano he hamama hāmama nā kahawai liʻiliʻi me ka wai e kahe mālie ana, nā kahawai me nā kumu lepo palupalu a me nā mea kanu sedge ma kapa.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o ka honu kai Muhlenberg.
ʻO ka honu swamp Mühlenberg kekahi o nā honu liʻiliʻi loa o ka honua. ʻO ka lōʻihi o ke carapace a hiki i 7.9 - 11.4 cm. ʻEleʻele ʻeleʻele a ʻeleʻele i ke kala a ʻike ʻia e nā kiko uila ma nā sc vertebral a me nā pleura scutes. I nā kuhukukū ʻōpio, ʻike pinepine ʻia nā apo, akā ʻo ka pūpū i nā hiʻohiʻona mua e lilo i mea maʻalahi.
ʻO ke poʻo, ka ʻāʻī, nā lālā, ma ke ʻano he ʻeleʻele, ʻeleʻele me nā kikoʻulaʻulaʻula-melemele. ʻIke ʻia kahi kiko ʻulaʻula-ʻalani nui ma hope, i kekahi manawa hoʻohui i loko o kahi kāʻei hoʻomau a puni ka ʻāʻī. Kaha nāwaliwali ka iwi ā luna. ʻEleʻele a ʻeleʻele paha ka plastron, akā pinepine me nā kiko melemele māmā ma ka ʻaoʻao waena a me mua. He plastron concave ko ke kāne makua a me kahi huelo mānoanoa a lōʻihi. Hoʻohanohano ʻia ka wahine e kahi plastron pālahalaha a me kahi huelo liʻiliʻi lahilahi.
ʻO ka hana hou ʻana o ka honu kai Muhlenberg.
Aia ka moena ma nā honu o Mühlenberg i ka pūnāwai mai Malaki a Mei. I ka wā o ka pachip, nahu ke kāne i ke poʻo, nā lālā, ka iwi o ka wahine.
ʻO ka wā kau manu mai ka waena o Mei a i ka mua o Iulai, me ka hapa nui o nā hua e waiho ʻia i Iune.
I ka ʻimi ʻana i nā pūnana, neʻe nā wahine i kahi kiʻekiʻe, nā wahi kahe maikaʻi, ʻoiai i kekahi manawa hoʻonohonoho ʻia nā pūnana i waenakonu o nā puʻu sedge i hoʻopuni ʻia e ka wai. I kēlā me kēia hihia, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kau ʻana i ka pūnana ma kahi ākea a me kahi lā lipolipo. Kūkulu ʻia nā pūnana e nā lālā hope, i ke kaila honu maʻamau. Hoʻokomo ʻia hoʻokahi a ʻeono mau hua i hoʻokahi manawa i ka makahiki.
Hoʻolālā nā hua, keʻokeʻo me kahi pūpū palupalu ma ka awelika ma kahi o 3 cm ka lōʻihi. ʻO ka manawa incubation mai 45 a 65 mau lā. Loaʻa i nā kuhukukū ʻōpio kahi lōʻihi carapace o 21.1 a 28.5 mm. Ulu wikiwiki lākou i loko o nā makahiki mua, a laila lohi i waena o nā makahiki he ʻehā a ʻumi.
I ka pio ʻana, ola nā kuhukukū Muhlenberg ma kahi o 40 mau makahiki.
Ke ʻano o ka honu kai Muhlenberg.
ʻO nā honu Mühlenberg marsh nā holoholona i ke ao, ʻoiai lākou e hōʻike i ka hana nocturnal i kekahi manawa. I nā lā maikaʻi, hoʻolilo mau lākou i ka manawa i ka lā i ke kahakai o nā kino wai papau ma nā puʻupuʻu, akā i ka wā wela e peʻe lākou ma waena o nā mea kanu a i ʻole nā lua i ʻeli ʻia i waena o sphagnum.
I ka hoʻoilo, hibernate ka honu Mühlenberg, e ʻū ana i ka lepo a i ʻole nā mea kanu i ka wai pāpaʻu a i nā lua wai paha. No ka hibernation, hoʻohana mau ʻia nā wahi like kahi e ʻākoakoa ai nā pūʻulu o nā honu i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Teritorial kekahi mau honu kakā a pale pale ikaika aku i kahi wahi liʻiliʻi i ko lākou wahi kokoke me kahi radius ma kahi o 1.2 mika.
Pono kahi hui liʻiliʻi o nā honu ma kahi o 0.1 a 3.1 hectares e ola ai.
ʻO ka ʻai ʻana i ka honu kai Muhlenberg.
ʻO nā honu Muhlenberg marsh nā omnivores a hoʻopau i nā meaʻai i loaʻa i loko o ka wai. ʻAi lākou i nā invertebrates liʻiliʻi (nā kolo, nā ʻūlū, nā kuhū, nā crustacea, nā ilo). A ʻo nā ʻanoʻano, nā hua, nā lālā ʻōmaʻomaʻo o nā mea kanu. Hōʻiliʻili ʻia nā holoholona make a me nā vertebrates liʻiliʻi e like me nā ʻūhū, nā rana a me nā larander salamander.
He manaʻo no ke kanaka.
Luku nā honu ahi a Mühlenberg i nā mea kolo weliweli a me nā larva. Akā ʻoi aku ka nui o ka waiwai o kēia ʻano ma ke ʻano he hopena kū hoʻokahi i kū i ke ʻano nui o nā kumuwaiwai holoholona. Hoʻohui ka honu kai Mühlenberg i ka ʻokoʻa biological a he laha ʻole, palupalu a hoʻoweliweli. Liʻiliʻi kēia mau honu, nani a nani hoʻi, i ʻimi ʻia e nā mea aloha holoholona a he mea ia.
Ke kūlana mālama o ka honu kai Muhlenberg.
Aia nā manu kuhukukū ʻo Mühlenberg ma ka papa inoa ʻulaʻula o IUCN o nā ʻano hoʻoweliweli a me CITES Appendix I. Ke hoʻololi nei ka wahi noho o ka honu i nā loli ma muli o nā hana a ke kanaka a me ka hoʻoheheʻe wai o nā wahi wai. Hoʻomaopopo ka heluna o nā honu i nā loli i nā wahi noho kūlohelohe i nā wahi pūnana i ka kahawai; ua ālai pinepine ʻia kēia mau ala e nā alanui, nā mahina ʻai, a me nā wahi mahiʻai. Eia hou, ke hoʻomau nei ke kālepa ʻana i nā mea kolo kolohe i ka hana ʻole i nā kānāwai o ka honua no ka pale ʻana i nā laha.
ʻO nā kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe o kēia ʻano honu e ulu pono ai ka ʻili manu ʻana me ka hoʻoweliweli i nā hoʻopaʻi koʻikoʻi.
He nui nā ʻenemi kūlohelohe o ka manu kuhukukū o Muhlenberg e luku i nā hua manu a me nā honu liʻiliʻi, a ma waena o lākou he helu make nui loa. Hoʻonui ka liʻiliʻi o ka poʻe i ka palupalu i nā predators. ʻO kahi helu maʻamau ʻole o nā raccoons, nā ʻākōkō paʻakikī i ka pale ʻana o kahi laha laha ʻole. Kuhi ʻia nā manu kuhukukū ʻo Mühlenberg e ka momona haʻahaʻa, ʻaʻole kiʻekiʻe o ka hana ʻana i ka hua manu, ma mua o ke oʻo ʻana a me kahi wā lōʻihi o ke oʻo ʻana. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona o ka pōʻaiapuni o nā kuhukukū marsh ka palena i ka hoola ʻia wikiwiki ʻana o ka lehulehu. I ka manawa like, hānau nā mākua i kahi nohona e ʻike i nā ʻano anthropogenic like ʻole, e hopena ana i nā helu make make kiʻekiʻe ma waena o nā kuhukukū e ulu ana a makua hoʻi. Hoʻohui ʻia, hoʻonui ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i nā wahi noho i ka hopena o ka hopena o ka hoʻololi kūlohelohe palena ʻia a me ka hanana o ka pili pili pili.
Mālama ʻia nā hana mālama i ka ʻike ʻana i nā wahi noho pilikia i ke kūlana kūpilikiʻi, ka pale ʻana i nā kuhukukū mai nā mea ʻai holoholona, ka hoʻokele ʻāina hoʻomau, a me nā polokalamu hānau hānai no nā honu kai Mühlenberg.
