Pāpā niu

I kēia lā e kamaʻilio ana mākou e pili ana i kahi ʻano pāpaʻi i ʻike ʻia ma ke ʻano he ʻoi aku ka nui ma ka honua. ʻO kāna e pili ana pāpaʻi niu. Kona inoa ʻepekema ʻo ʻO Birgus ballast. ʻOiai ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia ka pāpaʻi nui loa ma ka honua, he nuances kēia ʻōlelo. ʻO ka nuance nui ʻoi aku ka nui ma ka ʻāina ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka pāpaʻi nunui Iapana a me ka pāpaʻi kolo kaulana. ʻO ka ʻokoʻa mai ka mea ma mua he ola mau ia ma ka ʻāina.

I kēia ʻatikala e komo ana mākou i loko o ke ʻano, ke ʻano o ke ola, ka hānai ʻana a me ka hana hou ʻana o ka pā niu.

Nā kuhikuhi nui

No ka ʻohana arthropod kēia pāpaʻi a pili loa i ka pāpaʻi hermit e like me ke kūkā ʻana ma lalo. Ma muli o kāna ana ana i ka ʻike ua nui nā mea ʻepekema e wehewehe iā ia he monster maoli. ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona mua e kū i waho ka nui nui. Hiki iā ia ke kaupaona i 4 kilos a me ka lōʻihi o ka lōʻihi o kahi mika hoʻokahi. ʻO kēia ka mea i lilo iā ia i pāpaʻi nui loa a makaʻu loa i ka honua.

Me kēia ana nui e pono ai kēia pāpaʻi i nā puʻu wāwae nui i mua a me nā māiʻuʻu weliweli e lawelawe i ka ikaika i kāna mea pio. Loaʻa i kēia mau māiʻuʻu i ka ikaika haʻihaʻi a i ʻole like paha me nā mea ʻino ʻē aʻe he nui e ʻimi ʻoki ʻana.

ʻOiai ua noʻonoʻo wau i kahi ʻano pāpaʻi ʻāina, ʻo nā hoʻomaka mua i ke ola o kēia holoholona e hana i ke kai e like me nā pāpaʻi ʻē aʻe. ʻO nā kumu niu he mau larva liʻiliʻi wale nō e heʻe i nā kai o ke kai i ko lākou mahina mua o ke ola. Ke ulu nei lākou, puka lākou no kekahi manawa mai ka papakū o ke kai e ʻimi i ke ʻano o ka pūpū i hiki ke hoʻolilo iā ia i home home no lākou. ʻO kēia ke kumu aʻu i ʻōlelo ai ma mua e like ke ʻano me ka pāpaʻi hermit.

ʻO kēia mea pepehi kanaka hoʻomaka mai ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kona wahi noho ponoʻī a me ka hoʻololi ʻana mai kahi noho wai i kahi terrestrial ma muli o kahi hanana ʻokoʻa i kapa ʻia ʻo ka lung lālā i hoʻomohala ʻia ma waena o ka evolution a aia ma waena o nā gills a me nā akemāmā. I ka ulu ʻana o ka pā niu ma ka ʻāina, neʻe ia mai kekahi poncha i kekahi e like me ka hana a ka pāpaʻu hermit.

ʻAiʻai pāpaʻi niu

ʻO ka papaʻai o nā invertebrates e makaʻu nei i ka make ʻana ʻaʻole wale ka niu e like me ka manaʻo o kekahi. He ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka niu ka mea nui o ka papaʻai o nā pāpaʻi, no laila ko lākou inoa maʻamau. I mea e hiki ai i kēia nui nui, pono e ʻai ka pā niu i nā mea āpau. Pono kā lākou meaʻai i kahi mea i hiki ai iā lākou ke huli i ke kino make e māʻona ai kā lākou mau pono.

Hoʻonui lohi lākou a ʻaʻole hiki i ke ʻano hānau a hiki i ka piha ʻana o 6 mau makahiki. Akā naʻe, ʻO kēia no ka mea hiki ke ola ke ola o kēia holoholona i 30 a 40 mau makahiki.

Hoʻokumu nui ʻia ka papaʻai i kekahi ʻano o nā meaola i hiki ke loaʻa ma ke ala. ʻO nā hua pala, nā lau, nā hua manu kuhukukū, a me nā kupapaʻu o nā holoholona ʻē aʻe. ʻAʻole paʻakikī kēia ʻano hānai i ka hoʻomohala ʻana a ʻo ia ke kumu e hōʻea ai i kēia nui nui. Ua hiki i nā ʻepekema ke palapala i kekahi mau mokupuni kahi o kā lākou meaʻai nui, ka niu, he pāpaʻi niu kēia, ua lilo lākou i ʻano pāpaʻi kolohe. ʻO kēia no ka mea hiki iā ia ke hoʻouka i kekahi holoholona ʻē aʻe i loko o kona hiki.

E hana i kēia, hoʻohana ia i kona mau māiʻuʻu nui a me nā wāwae mua e hoʻouka i nā holoholona e like me nā moa, nā pōpoki, nā ʻiole a me nā holoholona ʻē aʻe i hiki ke kiʻi ʻia me kona mau māiʻuʻu. E like me kā mākou e ʻike ai, ʻAʻole maʻalahi ka wehe ʻana i ka niu. Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻohe paʻakikī kēia mau holoholona i ka wehe ʻana i kēia hua paʻakikī. Ke loaʻa lākou i kahi niu pono lākou e hoʻohana i nā pliers o mua e wāwahi ai a hemo i ka uhi fibrous a pau.

No ka loaʻa ʻana o ka meaʻai, kōkua kēia pāpaʻi i ke ʻano o ka pilau a me kāna antennae ikaika e lawelawe i ka ʻimi ʻana i nā meaʻai inā loaʻa i kahi mamao. ʻAi lākou i ka pō a noho lākou i ka lā a pau e peʻe ana i nā ana pōhaku liʻiliʻi a ʻeli pinepine paha i kā lākou mau lua ponoʻī e pale ai iā lākou iho mai nā mea ʻino ʻē aʻe. ʻO nā mea ʻaihue e hoʻopili nui nei i ka lehulehu o ka pā niu he mau kānaka.

Pāpaʻi niu e hoʻoweliweli

ʻAʻole i aʻo piha ʻia nā lehulehu o kēia mau holoholona. Ma muli o kēia a ʻaʻole maopopo loa i ka nui o nā kope i ka huina. Ua hoʻokaʻawale ka International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) ma ke ʻano he ʻilihuna ʻikepili. Hōʻike nā noiʻi hou loa i ka heluna nui o kēia mau pāpaʻi i ka hoʻoliʻiliʻi koʻikoʻi. ʻO kēia hoʻemi i nā heluna kanaka ma muli o nā kumu like ʻole e like me ka hiki iā mākou ke ʻike overexploitation a me ka nele o ke kānāwai e nā aupuni e pale aku i kēia mau kumuwaiwai.

I ka hoʻonui ʻana o ka heluna kanaka a hoʻokomo ʻia nā holoholona i loko o ka hapa nui o nā mokupuni, ua loli nā loli, ka hānai ʻana a me nā hiʻohiʻona predation i ka pae meaʻai. Hoʻohui ʻia, ua hoʻonui kēia hoʻonui ʻana i nā heluna kanaka i kahi ʻoi aku ka nui o ka ʻai niu no kāna ʻono momona. Kūpono nui ʻia kēia ʻiʻo i waena o ka poʻe noho o nā mokupuni a nui ko lākou waiwai nui a me ka nohona.

Ua māhuahua ka nui o ke koi no nā pāpaʻi a no laila ke emi nui nei nā poʻe. Aia kahi noiʻi mai ka makahiki 1989 i hōʻike mai e pili ana i nā mokupuni kahi i loaʻa ai kēia pāpaʻi, ma ka awelika he 24 mau pāpaʻi i alualu ʻia i kēlā me kēia mahina. E like me kāu e noʻonoʻo ai, no kahi ʻano o kēia ʻano 24 kope o ka mahina he helu inordinate. E like kēia me ka huli holoholona makahiki ma kahi o 49.824 pāpaʻi i māhele ʻia ma waena o ka ʻai kūloko a me ka hoʻolilo ʻia. i nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ka honua, ʻo Nūhōlani ka nui.

Honi lākou e ʻike hou aʻe e pili ana i ka pā niu a me kāna ʻano i ka makaʻu o ka make.
