Izinhlobo (ilulwane):izinja zama-raccoon
Abstract:
Njengoba ukufudukela emadolobheni kudalula izilwane zasendle ezimweni ezintsha eziyinselele kanye nezingcindezi zemvelo, izinhlobo ezibonisa izinga eliphezulu lokuziphatha kwepulasitiki zibhekwa njengezinamandla okuba amakoloni futhi zivumelane nezimo zasemadolobheni. Kodwa-ke, umehluko ekuziphatheni kwabantu abahlala ezindaweni zasemadolobheni nasezindaweni ezingaphansi kwedolobha kubangela izinselele ezingakaze zibonwe ezindleleni zendabuko ekuphathweni kwezilwane zasendle ezivame ukuhluleka ukucabangela izidingo zohlobo oluthile noma ukunciphisa ukungqubuzana kwabantu nezilwane zasendle ngenxa yezinguquko ekuziphatheni kwezinhlobo zezilwane ngenxa yokugxambukela kwabantu. Lapha, siphenya umehluko webanga lasekhaya, umsebenzi wedizili, ukunyakaza, nokudla kwezinja ze-raccoon (Nyctereutes procyonoides) phakathi kwezifunda zokuhlala nezindawo zepaki zamahlathi e-Shanghai, e-China. Ngokusebenzisa idatha yokulandelela i-GPS evela kubantu abangu-22, sithola ukuthi uhla lwezinja ze-raccoon ezifundeni okuhlalwa kuzo (10.4 ± 8.8 ha) lwalumancane ngo-91.26% kunalawo asemapaki amahlathi (119.6 ± 135.4 ha). Siphinde sithole ukuthi izinja ze-raccoon ezifundeni okuhlala kuzo zibonise isivinini esiphansi kakhulu sokunyakaza ebusuku (134.55 ± 50.68 m/h) uma kuqhathaniswa nozakwabo basepaki yehlathi (263.22 ± 84.972 m/h). Ukuhlaziywa kwamasampula endle angu-528 kubonise ukuthathwa okuphezulu kakhulu kwezithako ezivela ekudleni kwabantu ezifundeni okuhlalwa kuzo (χ2 = 4.691, P = 0.026), okubonisa ukuthi amasu okuphakela izinja ze-raccoon yasemadolobheni ayahluka kumphakathi wepaki yamahlathi ngenxa yokuba khona kokudla okulahliwe kwabantu, ukudla kwekati, nodoti omanzi ezifundeni okuhlalwa kuzo. Ngokusekelwe kulokho esikutholile, siphakamisa isu lokuphatha izilwane zasendle elisekelwe emphakathini futhi siphakamisa ukulungisa umklamo wamanje wezifunda zokuhlala. Imiphumela yethu igcizelela ukubaluleka kocwaningo lokuziphatha kwezilwane ezincelisayo ekuphathweni kwezinhlobonhlobo zemvelo zasemadolobheni futhi ihlinzeka ngesisekelo sesayensi sokudambisa izingxabano phakathi kwabantu nezilwane zasendle ezindaweni zasemadolobheni ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwendawo yethu yocwaningo.
