Uhlobo (ilulwane):izinja ze-raccoon
Isifinyezo:
Njengoba ukufudukela emadolobheni kuveza izilwane zasendle ezimweni ezintsha eziyinselele kanye nezingcindezi zemvelo, izinhlobo ezibonisa izinga eliphezulu lokuziphatha zibhekwa njengezingakwazi ukuhlala ndawonye futhi zivumelane nezimo zasemadolobheni. Kodwa-ke, umehluko ekuziphatheni kwabantu abahlala ezindaweni zasemadolobheni nasezindaweni zasemadolobheni uletha izinselelo ezingakaze zibonwe ezindleleni zendabuko zokuphathwa kwezilwane zasendle ezivame ukwehluleka ukucabangela izidingo zohlobo oluthile noma ukunciphisa ingxabano phakathi kwabantu nezilwane zasendle ngenxa yezinguquko ekuziphatheni kwezinhlobo ngenxa yokuphazamiseka okukhulu kwabantu. Lapha, sihlola umehluko ezindaweni zasekhaya, umsebenzi we-diel, ukunyakaza, kanye nokudla kwezinja ze-raccoon (Nyctereutes procyonoides) phakathi kwezifunda zokuhlala kanye nezindawo zokuhlala zamapaki ehlathi eShanghai, eShayina. Sisebenzisa idatha yokulandelela i-GPS evela kubantu abangu-22, sithola ukuthi izindawo zasekhaya zezinja ze-raccoon ezindaweni zokuhlala (10.4 ± 8.8 ha) zazincane ngo-91.26% kunalezo ezisezindaweni zamahlathi (119.6 ± 135.4 ha). Siphinde sithole ukuthi izinja ze-raccoon ezindaweni zokuhlala zibonise isivinini sokuhamba ebusuku esiphansi kakhulu (134.55 ± 50.68 m/h) uma kuqhathaniswa nezazo zasepaki lehlathi (263.22 ± 84.972 m/h). Ukuhlaziywa kwamasampula endle angu-528 kubonise ukudla okuphezulu kakhulu kwezithako ezivela ekudleni kwabantu ezindaweni zokuhlala (χ2 = 4.691, P = 0.026), okubonisa ukuthi amasu okufuna izinja ze-raccoon zasemadolobheni ahlukile kubantu basepaki lehlathi ngenxa yokuba khona kokudla kwabantu okulahliwe, ukudla kwamakati, kanye nodoti omanzi ezindaweni zokuhlala. Ngokusekelwe kokutholakele kwethu, siphakamisa isu lokuphathwa kwezilwane zasendle elisekelwe emphakathini futhi siphakamisa ukuthi kuguqulwe ukwakheka kwamanje kwezindawo zokuhlala. Imiphumela yethu igcizelela ukubaluleka kwezifundo zokuziphatha kwezilwane ezincelisayo ekuphathweni kwezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo zasemadolobheni futhi ihlinzeka ngesisekelo sesayensi sokunciphisa izingxabano zabantu nezilwane zasendle ezindaweni zasemadolobheni ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwendawo yethu yocwaningo.
