Introduction to Marsh Frogs

ʻO nā rana marsh, ʻike ʻia i ka ʻepekema ʻo Pelophylax ridibundus, kahi ʻano rana hoihoi no ka ʻohana Ranidae. He kanaka maoli kēia mau amphibians nui i ʻEulopa a me ʻAsia komohana, a ua ʻike ʻia no ko lākou mau hiʻohiʻona kūʻokoʻa a me nā ʻano ʻokoʻa. Ua hopu nā rana Marsh i ka manaʻo o ka poʻe ʻepekema a me nā mea hoihoi i ke ʻano ma muli o ko lākou ʻano kino, nā ʻano hānau, a me nā hoʻololi ʻana i kā lākou kaiaola. Ma kēia ʻatikala, e ʻimi mākou i ka mea e hoʻokaʻawale ai i nā rana marsh mai nā ʻano rana ʻē aʻe, e hoʻomālamalama ana i ko lākou mau ʻano kupaianaha a me ke koʻikoʻi kaiaola.

Nā ʻano kino o nā rana marsh

ʻO kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona ʻokoʻa o nā rana marsh ko lākou nui. Aia lākou ma waena o nā ʻano rana nui loa ma ʻEulopa, me nā kāne makua a hiki i ka 11 kenimika ka lōʻihi, a ʻo nā wahine he nui iki aʻe, ʻo ke ana ʻana ma kahi o 14 kenimika. ʻO ko lākou kino he paʻa a me ka ʻiʻo, me nā wāwae hope ikaika e hiki ai iā lākou ke lele i kahi mamao. He ʻili maʻemaʻe ka ʻili o ka Marsh, ʻōmaʻomaʻo a ʻeleʻele paha ka waihoʻoluʻu, e kōkua iā lākou e hoʻohui pono i ko lākou mau wahi noho. ʻO kekahi hiʻohiʻona ʻē aʻe e hoʻokaʻawale iā lākou ʻo ko lākou mau pepeiao pepeiao koʻikoʻi, a me nā membrane tympanic, aia ma hope o ko lākou mau maka.

Noho a me ka mahele ʻana o nā rana marsh

Noho nui nā rana marsh i nā wahi pāpū e like me nā marshes, loko, loko, a me nā muliwai lohi. He mau mea hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia, hiki ke ulu i ka wai maʻemaʻe a me ka wai paʻakai. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia kēia mau rana ma nā ʻano noho like ʻole, e like me nā moena ʻohe, nā māla pulu, a me nā māla raiki. ʻO nā rana Marsh he kamaʻāina ia no ʻEulopa, mai ka Iberian Peninsula ma ke komohana a i ke Kai Caspian ma ka hikina. Ua hoʻolauna pū ʻia lākou i nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ka honua, me ʻAmelika ʻĀkau a me New Zealand, kahi i hoʻokumu ai lākou i nā heluna kanaka.

ʻO ke ʻano hanau kūʻokoʻa o Marsh Frogs

ʻO kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona kupaianaha o nā rana marsh ʻo kā lākou ʻano hānau. ʻAʻole like me nā ʻano rana ʻē aʻe, komo nā rana marsh i nā hanana hoʻohua pahū, kahi e ʻākoakoa ai nā pūʻulu kāne nui i loko o ka wai a hoʻokūkū i nā manawa male me nā wahine. ʻO kēia ʻano, i kapa ʻia ʻo amplexus, pili nā kāne i ka paʻa paʻa ʻana i nā kino wahine i ka wā o ka male ʻana. ʻIke ʻia hoʻi nā rana Marsh no kā lākou leo ​​nui i ka wā hānau, e hana ana i nā ʻano kelepona a me nā croaks e huki ai i nā hoa. Hiki i kēia mau hōʻuluʻulu hoʻoulu ʻana ke hana i kahi mele hoʻohiwahiwa e ʻoluʻolu i nā ʻāina pulu.

ʻAi a me ka hanai ʻana o nā rana Marsh

ʻO nā rana marsh nā mea ʻaihue manawaleʻa a loaʻa i nā ʻano meaʻai like ʻole. ʻAi nui lākou i nā invertebrates e like me nā iniseti, nā kolo, nā snails, a me nā ilo. ʻIke ʻia kēia mau rana he poʻe ʻai ʻai nui, e ʻai ana i ka nui o nā mea pio i kēlā me kēia lā. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia kā lākou hana hānai ʻana e ko lākou hiki ke hoʻolōʻihi i ko lākou alelo me ka wikiwiki, e hopu ana i ka mea pio me ka pololei. Eia kekahi, ʻike makaʻala nā rana marsh, e kōkua ana iā lākou e ʻimi a hopu i kā lākou meaʻai. He koʻikoʻi ko lākou ʻai i ka mālama ʻana i ke kaulike kaiaola i loko o ko lākou mau wahi noho.

ʻO nā leo leo a me ke kamaʻilio ʻana o Marsh Frogs

ʻIke ʻia nā rana Marsh no kā lākou leo ​​leo, he ʻāpana koʻikoʻi o kā lākou repertoire kamaʻilio. I ka wā hānau, hoʻopuka nā kāne i kahi leo hohonu a kani e like me ka ʻakaʻaka hou ʻana, no laila ko lākou inoa ʻepekema "ridibundus," ʻo ia hoʻi ka "ʻakaʻaka" ma ka Latin. Hoʻohana kēia mau leo ​​leo i nā kumu he nui, e like me ka huki ʻana i nā hoa kāne, ka hoʻokumu ʻana i nā ʻāina, a me ka hōʻailona ʻana i ka huhū i nā kāne ʻē aʻe. He mea koʻikoʻi ka hiki ke hana i nā leo leo nui no ka holomua o ka hānau ʻana o nā rana.

Hoʻololi ʻia o nā rana Marsh i nā Kaiaola

Loaʻa i nā rana Marsh kekahi mau hoʻololi e hiki ai iā lākou ke ulu i ko lākou mau wahi kai. ʻO ko lākou mau wāwae hope e hiki ai iā lākou ke ʻauʻau maikaʻi, ʻoiai ʻo ko lākou mau wāwae hope lōʻihi a ikaika e kōkua i ka lele ʻana ma waena o nā mea kanu wai. ʻO kēia mau hoʻololi ʻana e hiki ai iā lākou ke hoʻokele ma waena o nā mea kanu paʻa i loaʻa i loko o nā kahawai a me nā loko. Loaʻa i nā rana Marsh kahi papa o ka mucus ma ko lākou ʻili, e kōkua iā lākou e hoʻomaʻemaʻe a pale ʻia mai ka maloʻo. Kōkua pū kēia ʻāpana mucus i ka lawe ʻana o ka oxygen ma ka ʻili, e ʻae ana i nā rana marsh e hanu maikaʻi ma lalo o ka wai.

Ka Hoʻohālikelike ʻana i nā Frogs Marsh me nā ʻano Frog ʻē aʻe

I ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i nā rana marsh me nā ʻano rana ʻē aʻe, ʻike ʻia ko lākou nui nui a me ka hana hoʻohua pahū ʻana ma ke ʻano he ʻano ʻokoʻa. ʻAʻole e like me nā rana he nui i hānau ʻia ma nā pūʻulu liʻiliʻi a i ʻole pālua, hōʻuluʻulu nui nā rana marsh i ka wā hānau, e hana ana i kahi hiʻohiʻona kū hoʻokahi i kēia ʻano. Hoʻohui hou, ʻo ko lākou kino ikaika, nā wāwae hope ikaika, a me ka ʻili maʻemaʻe e hoʻokaʻawale iā lākou mai nā ʻano rana ʻē aʻe i loaʻa ma nā wahi wai. Hāʻawi kēia mau ʻokoʻa i ka niche kaiaola i noho ʻia e nā rana marsh a lilo lākou i ʻano ʻokoʻa a hoihoi.

ʻO Marsh Frogs 'Pedators and Mechanism Defence

ʻO nā rana Marsh, ʻoiai ko lākou nui, ʻaʻole me ka ʻole o nā mea ʻaihue. Ke kū nei lākou i nā hoʻoweliweli mai nā holoholona like ʻole, e like me nā manu, nā nahesa, nā ʻotter, a me nā iʻa nui aʻe. No ka pale ʻana iā lākou iho, ua hoʻomohala nā rana marsh i kekahi mau mea pale. Ke hoʻoweliweli ʻia, hiki iā lākou ke hoʻonui i ko lākou kino, e ʻike nui iā lākou iho a ʻoi aku ka weliweli. Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻololi i kā lākou kala e hui pū me ko lākou puni, e hāʻawi ana i ka camouflage e kūʻē i nā mea ʻaihue. ʻO kēia mau hoʻololi, i hui pū ʻia me kā lākou reflexes wikiwiki a me nā lele ikaika, e hoʻonui i ko lākou manawa e ola ai i mua o ka predation.

ʻO nā mea hoʻoweliweli a me ke kūlana mālama o nā rana marsh

ʻOiai ʻaʻole manaʻo ʻia nā rana marsh i kēia manawa he pōʻino, ke kū nei lākou i nā ʻano hoʻoweliweli i ko lākou heluna kanaka. ʻO ka pau ʻana o ka noho ʻana ma muli o nā hana a ke kanaka, me ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i nā ʻāina pulu no ka mahiʻai a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ke kūlanakauhale, he pilikia nui. ʻO ka hoʻohaumia a me ka hoʻohaumia ʻana o nā kino wai e pili pū i ko lākou ola. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā ʻano ʻano ʻōiwi ʻole a me ka hoʻolaha ʻana o nā maʻi hiki ke loaʻa nā hopena pōʻino i ka heluna o nā rana marsh. He mea koʻikoʻi ka hoʻoikaika ʻana e hoʻēmi i kēia mau mea hoʻoweliweli a mālama i ke ola lōʻihi o kēia ʻano rana kū hoʻokahi.

Koʻikoʻi o Marsh Frogs in Ecosystems

He kuleana koʻikoʻi nā rana marsh i nā kaiaola kahi e noho ai. Ma ke ʻano he poʻe ʻaihue, kōkua lākou i ka hoʻomalu ʻana i ka heluna o nā invertebrates, hoʻoponopono i kā lākou helu a mālama i ke kaulike kaiaola. Hāʻawi pū kā lākou mau tadpoles i ke kaʻa kaʻa meaʻai ma nā wahi ʻāina pulu, ʻoiai lākou e ʻai ai i nā mea kanu a kōkua i nā kaʻina decomposition. Eia kekahi, ʻo nā rana marsh he mau hōʻailona o ke olakino ʻāina pulu. ʻO ko lākou hele ʻana a me ka nui e hiki ke hāʻawi i nā ʻike i ke kūlana holoʻokoʻa o ko lākou mau wahi noho, e hana ana iā lākou i bioindicators waiwai no nā hana mālama.

Ka Manaʻo Manaʻo: Mahalo i ke ʻano kūʻokoʻa o nā rana Marsh

I ka hopena, loaʻa i nā rana marsh nā ʻano a me nā ʻano e hoʻokaʻawale iā lākou mai nā ʻano rana ʻē aʻe. Mai ko lākou ʻano nui a me ka hana hoʻohua pahū a hiki i kā lākou hoʻololi ʻana i nā kaiaola wai, ua hoʻopio nā rana marsh i ka hoihoi o ka poʻe noiʻi a me nā mea hoihoi. Hoʻokani kēia mau rana kūʻokoʻa i nā kuleana kaiaola koʻikoʻi i nā wahi ʻāina pulu a pono ko mākou mahalo a me ka palekana. Ma ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana a me ka hoʻolilo ʻana i ka ʻokoʻa o nā rana marsh, hiki iā mākou ke hana i ka mālama ʻana i ko lākou heluna kanaka a me nā kaiaolaola koʻikoʻi a lākou e noho ai.
