Abstract:
I-Eurasian Bitterns Botaurus stellaris ebanjwe ebusika empumalanga yeShayina idla ihlobo eMpumalanga Ekude yaseRussia. Ukuhlonza isikhathi sokufuduka, ubude besikhathi nezindlela, kanye nezingosi zokuma, ezisetshenziswa i-Eurasian Bitterns kundiza yendiza yase-Russian Far East nokuthola ulwazi oluyisisekelo mayelana nokuziphatha kanye ne-ecology kusuka kudatha yokulandelela. Silandelele ama-Eurasian Bitterns amabili abanjwe e-China ngesistimu yokubeka indawo yomhlaba/abaloga bezokuxhumana beselula unyaka owodwa noma emithathu ngokulandelana, ukuze sihlonze imizila yabo yokufuduka namashejuli. Sisebenzise ibanga elihanjisiwe phakathi kokulungiswa okulandelanayo ukuze sinqume amaphethini azo omsebenzi wansuku zonke. Laba bantu ababili bahlala ebusika empumalanga yeChina futhi bahamba ibanga elingu-4221 ± 603 km (ngo-2015-17) kanye no-3844 km (2017) ukuya ehlobo eMpumalanga Ekude yaseRussia. Imiphumela yenyoni eyodwa ibonise ukuthi kuyo yomithathu le minyaka, le nyoni ibisebenza kakhulu emini kunasebusuku, nakuba umehluko ophelele wawuhlukahluka ngokwenkathi yonyaka, njengoba imatasa kakhulu ebusuku ehlobo. Umphumela omangalisa kakhulu wale nyoni kwaba ukuguquguquka ekufudukeni kwentwasahlobo kanye nokuntuleka kokwethembeka kwesayithi lasehlobo. Ucwaningo luhlonze imizila yokufuduka engaziwa ngaphambilini ye-Eurasian Bittern e-East Asia, futhi lwaphakamisa ukuthi lolu hlobo luvame ukusebenza kakhulu phakathi nosuku unyaka wonke.
