ʻO Moorhen (Gallinula comeri) no ka moa wai o ka ʻohana kahu hipa.
He manu manu ʻole ʻēheu o kēia. Ua wehewehe mua ʻia kēia ʻano i ka makahiki 1888 e ka naturalist George Kamer. Hōʻike ʻia kēia ʻoiaʻiʻo i ka lua o ka hapa o ka inoa ʻano - comeri. ʻO Moorhen o ka Gough Island kahi lālā o ka genus Gallinula a he pili pili o ka coot, a hui pū ʻia lākou e nā hiʻohiʻona hiʻohiʻona: ke mimiki mau ʻana o ke poʻo a me ka huelo.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o ka moorhen
ʻO Moorhen o Gough Island kahi manu nui a lōʻihi.
He pala ʻeleʻele a ʻeleʻele paha me nā kaha keʻokeʻo. Keʻokeʻo ʻo Undertail, me nā kaha ma nā ʻaoʻao o ke kala like. Pokole a poepoe nā ʻeheu. Lōʻihi a ikaika hoʻi nā wāwae, hoʻololi ʻia e huakaʻi ma ka lepo kai kahakai. Liʻiliʻi ka nuku, ʻulaʻula me ka piko melemele. Kū kahi ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula i ka lae ma luna o ka nuku. I nā moors ʻōpio, ʻaʻohe ke pāka.
Nā hiʻohiʻona o ke ʻano o ka moorhen o ka mokupuni ʻo Gough
ʻOi aku ka hūnā o Moorhenes o Gough Island ma mua o nā ʻano kahu hipa ʻē aʻe. Noho lākou i ka mauʻu mauʻu mauʻu, i kekahi manawa me ka hū ʻole ʻana, e ʻai ana i ka wai ma kahakai. Lele makemake ʻole ʻo Moorhenes, akā inā pono, hiki iā lākou ke neʻe i nā wahi me nā meaʻai nui. Hana lākou i kā lākou neʻe i ka pō.
ʻO Moorhen ma ka mokupuni ʻo Gough ua aneane he manu lele ʻole: hiki iā ia ke "lele" i kekahi mau mika, e lele ana i kona mau ʻeheu. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia kēia ʻano hana e pili ana i ka noho ʻana ma nā mokupuni. Hoʻololi ʻia nā wāwae i hoʻomohala ʻia me nā manamana wāwae ikaika no ka neʻe ʻana ma luna o nā papa palupalu.
He manu ʻāina nā mokupuni ʻo Gough Island i ka wā hānau a kipaku kipaku aku i nā mea hoʻokūkū mai ka pūnaewele i wae ʻia. Ma waho o ka wā lūlū, hana lākou i mau pūʻā nui i loko o ka wai papau o ka loko me nā mea kanu nui ma kapa.
Mālama moorhen mokupuni ʻo Gough Island
ʻO Moorhen o Gough Island kahi manu manu omnivorous. ʻAi ʻo ia:
- nā ʻāpana o nā mea kanu
- invertebrates a me ka make,
- ʻai hua manu.
ʻOiai ʻaʻohe membrane o ka moorhen ma kona mau wāwae, pili lōʻihi ia, ʻohiʻohi i ka meaʻai mai ka papa o ka wai. I ka manawa like, hoe ʻo ia me kona mau ʻūpā a pono e kunou i kona poʻo, e ʻimi ana i ka meaʻai.
ʻO ka nohona moorhen ʻo Gough Island
Kū ka moʻo mokupuni ʻo Gough Island ma kahi kokoke i ke kapakai, ma nā ʻāina pulu a kokoke i nā kahawai, nā mea maʻamau ma Fern Bush. Noho iki i ka pae o nā wahi o nā wahi ulu hummocky. Hōʻalo i nā kahakai pulu. Makemake ʻo ia e mālama i nā wahi me nā mānoanoa a hiki ʻole ke hoʻohele ʻia.
Pālahalaha ka moorhen Gough Island
He wahi palena palena ʻole ʻo Moorhen o Gough Island e komo pū me ʻelua mau mokupuni liʻiliʻi e pili ana kekahi i kekahi. ʻO kēia ʻano laha i ka mokupuni ʻo Gough (Saint Helena). I ka makahiki 1956, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi manu liʻiliʻi ma ka mokupuni kokoke iā Tristan da Cunha (e like me nā kumuwaiwai like ʻole, he 6-7 pālua ka nui o nā manu).
ʻO ka nui o ka moorhen ma Gough Island
I ka makahiki 1983, ka heluna nui o ka mokupuni ʻo Gough Island he 2,000-3,000 pālua ma 10-12 km2 o kahi kūpono kūpono. Ke ulu nei ka heluna kanaka ma ka mokupuni ʻo Tristan da Cunha, a i kēia manawa ua puʻunaue ʻia nā manu ma ka mokupuni, aia wale ma nā wahi me ka uhi mauʻu mauʻu i ke komohana.
ʻO ka heluna heluna o nā ʻohe ma nā Mokupuni Ascension, Saint Helena a me Tristan da Cunha Island i koho ʻia ma 8,500-13,000 mau kanaka makua e pili ana i ka ʻikepili i hala. Eia nō naʻe, maopopo ʻole inā pono e hoʻokomo ʻia nā manu e noho ana ma ka mokupuni ʻo Tristana da Cunha i loko o ka IUCN Red List, ʻoiai ʻaʻole e pili ana nā kumumanaʻo o ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ua neʻe wale ʻia kēia mau kānaka i kahi ʻāina hou, a ʻaʻole i hoʻihoʻi i ka helu o nā manu i ko lākou wahi i noho ai ma mua.
ʻO ka hana hou ʻana o ka moorhen o ka mokupuni ʻo Gough
ʻO ka moorhenes o Gough Island pūnana mai Kepakemapa a Malaki. Aia ka piko hānau ma waena o ʻOkakopa a me Kekemapa. Noho pinepine nā manu i nā hui liʻiliʻi o 2 - 4 pālua i hoʻokahi wahi. I kēia hihia, aia nā pūnana kokoke ma waena o 70-80 mau mika mai kēlā me kēia. Hoʻomoe ka wahine i 2-5 mau hua.
Hoʻokomo ʻo Moorhenes i ko lākou mau pūnana ma nā ululāʻau ma nā kaupoku i hana ʻia e nā ʻāpana make o nā mea kanu a ʻaʻole mamao paha mai ka wai i ka mānoanoa o nā nāhelehele
ʻO kahi ʻano kahiko i hana ʻia i nā koʻokoʻo ʻohe a me nā lau. Kūʻokoʻa i mua nā keikikāne a i ka makaʻu iki i ke ola a lele lākou i waho o ka pūnana. Akā ua mālie, piʻi hou lākou i ka punana. Haʻalele lākou i ka hale hoʻomaha i hoʻokahi mahina.
Ke hoʻoweliweli ʻia, hōʻike nā manu makua i nā hana hoʻohuli: huli ka manu i kona kua a hōʻike i kahi huelo i hāpai ʻia a hemo, e hoʻoluliluli ana i ke kino holoʻokoʻa. ʻO ka uē o ka moorhen i ka pū waikaua ke kani nei "keke-keke". Hāʻawi nā manu i kahi hōʻailona haʻahaʻa ke alakaʻi lākou i ka moa, a hahai ka moa i ko lākou mau mākua. Huli i hope o ka ʻohana, puehu lākou, a ʻike koke nā manu makua i nā keiki nalowale.
Nā kumu no ka hōʻemi ʻana o ka nui o nā moorhen ma Gough Island
ʻO nā kumu nui o ka hōʻemi ʻana o ka helu i manaʻo ʻia ʻo ka predation o nāʻiole ʻeleʻele (Rattus rattus), kahi e noho ai ma ka mokupuni, a me nā pōpoki hānai a me nā puaʻa, ua luku lākou i nā hua manu, nā moa o nā manu makua. ʻO ka luku ʻia ʻana o ka nohona a me ka ʻimi holoholona ʻana o nā mokupuni i alakaʻi ʻia i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka nui o nā ʻohe.
Pili nā ana mālama iā Gough Island Reed
Ke holo nei ʻo Tristan da Cunha i kahi polokalamu hoʻopau pōpoki mai ka makahiki 1970 e pale aku i ka kō ma Gough Island. ʻO Gough Island kahi mālama kūlohelohe a me kahi Pūnaewele Hoʻoilina o ka Honua a he wahi ia me nā kūlanakauhale kū ʻole o ke kūlanakauhale.
Ma hope o ke ana ʻana i mālama ʻia ma 2006, ua lawe ʻia nā koʻokoʻo iā Tristan da Cunha a me Gough, nā mea i luku i nā moa a me nā hua o ka moorhen.
Ke aʻo nei nā ʻepekema ma ka mokupuni i ka hopena o nā ʻōpeʻapeʻa e noho ana i nā ana a me nā tunnels pele ma nā helu o nā ʻano manu endemik ʻelua (me ka moorhen ʻo Gough Island) a hoʻohana i ka lāʻau make kūpono ʻole.
Ua hoʻomākaukau ʻia kahi hoʻolālā hoʻolālā no ka hoʻopau ʻana i nāʻiole ma Gough i ka makahiki 2010, e hōʻike kikoʻī ana i ka hoʻolālā hana a me ka manawa no ka hoʻopau ʻana, e kūkulu ana i nā haʻawina i aʻo ʻia mai nā papahana ʻē aʻe e hoʻopau i nā laha i makemake ʻole ʻia. I ka manawa like, pono e hana i nā ana kūpono e hōʻemi ai i ka hopena kūpono o ka lāʻau ʻona lua mai ka moorhen, e ʻohi ana i nā kupapaʻu o nā ʻiole make a hiki pū ke ʻawahia. ʻO ka makaʻu o ka hoʻolauna ʻana i nā flora a me nā holoholona exotic, i ka hoʻolauna ʻia ʻana o nā māmala predatory i Gough Island, pono e hoʻēmi ʻia.
E kāohi i ka mokuʻāina o nā laha, e mālama i nā manawa o 5-10 mau makahiki.
