Ua hīmeni kekahi mau manu ʻApelika Hikina i kēlā mele hoʻokahi no nā haneli haneli mau makahiki
Ua hiki i nā kānaka ʻepekema ke hoʻokumu i kēia ma o ka noiʻi kahua.
ʻO kahi noiʻi hou e nā mea olaola mai ke Kulanui o Kaleponi ma Berkeley a me ke Kulanui o Missouri ma Springfield i palapala i nā mele o East African Cinnyris sunbirds i loli ʻole ma mua o 500,000 mau makahiki, a hiki paha i hoʻokahi miliona mau makahiki. ʻAʻole ʻokoʻa kā lākou mau mele me nā mele a nā ʻohana i kaʻawale lōʻihi.
ʻO ke ʻano kamahaʻo o kā lākou mau mele ma muli paha o ka loli ʻole o ka noho ʻana o kēia mau manu, ʻo ia nā ululāʻau mauna mau i kaʻawale ʻia mai nā lāhui ʻē aʻe o nā ʻano like ʻole no nā ʻumi kaukani makahiki a ʻoi aku paha. Ua loli iki ka waihoʻoluʻu o ka hulu manu, no laila ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka hulu manu mai kekahi i kekahi, ʻoiai he ʻano kaʻawale kekahi akā pili pili.
“Inā hoʻokaʻawale ʻoe i nā kānaka, loli pinepine kā lākou mau ʻōlelo; hiki iā ʻoe ke haʻi ma hope o kahi i hele mai ai kekahi. A ua like ka unuhi ʻana o nā mele. Hōʻike kā mākou hana ʻaʻole pili kēia i nā manu. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona ʻoi loa ka labile, e like me ke mele a i ʻole ka huluhulu, hiki ke loaʻa nā manawa lōʻihi o ka stagnation, "ʻo Rauri Bowie, ka mea kākau kumu o ka noiʻi.
Wahi a Bowie, ʻo ka manaʻo e loli maʻalahi ka leo manu ma muli paha o nā noiʻi ʻana i nā manu o ka Northern Hemisphere, ka mea i ʻike pinepine i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke ʻano o ke kaiapuni i ka hiki ʻana mai o nā glaciers i nā ʻumi kaukani makahiki i hala. ʻO ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke kaiapuni ke hoʻololi i ka hulu, ke kani manu, ka hana male a me nā mea hou aku.
Akā, ʻo ke kaiapuni o ka mauna i ka ʻāina ʻoluʻolu, ʻoi aku hoʻi ma ʻApelika Hikina—mai ka mauna ʻo Kenya a hiki i ka mauna ʻo Kilimanjaro ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o Tanzania ma Malawi a hiki i Mozambique—ua hoʻololi liʻiliʻi ʻia i ka manawa like. No laila, ʻaʻohe manaʻo o nā manu i aʻo ʻia e ka poʻe noiʻi e hoʻololi i kā lākou hulu kala a i ʻole kā lākou mele paʻakikī.
“Ua manaʻo ʻia ke mele ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea pale pale koʻikoʻi ma mua o ka male ʻana, ʻo ia kekahi o nā ala nui e ʻike ai nā manu i kekahi i kekahi. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ke ʻano a mākou i aʻo ai hiki ke hoʻololi ʻole ʻia no nā haneli a me nā kaukani makahiki he mea kupaianaha wale nō. Hōʻike kēia ʻike i ka nui o ke aʻo ʻana o nā ʻōnaehana wela e hāʻawi i ke kaiāulu ʻepekema a me ka mea nānā ʻike. – Rauri Bowie
Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Bowie, me ka hoa hana ʻo Jay McEntee, i kā lākou noiʻi ma kahi o 15 mau makahiki i hala. Ma waena o 2007 a me 2011 ua hoʻopaʻa lākou i nā mele o nā manu pākahi he 123 mai nā laina koko ʻeono o nā sunbirds East Africa.
Ua hoʻomohala ka poʻe noiʻi i kahi ʻano helu helu e hoʻokaʻawale i waena o nā loli mālie a me ka hoʻololi wikiwiki ʻana i nā hiʻohiʻona e like me ke mele manu, a ʻike ʻia ʻaʻole pili nā ʻokoʻa mele me ka lōʻihi o ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana o kēlā me kēia kanaka, e like me ka manaʻo ma muli o ka ʻikepili genetic. ʻokoʻa i kā lākou DNA. ʻO ka mea nui, ʻelua mau heluna o nā ʻano mea i hoʻokaʻawale lōʻihi i nā mele like ʻole, ʻoiai ʻelua mau ʻano like ʻole i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia no ka manawa liʻiliʻi he mau mele ʻokoʻa loa.
“ʻO ka mea i kahaha nui iaʻu i ka hana ʻana i kēia noiʻi ʻana, ʻo ia ke ʻano like o kēia mau mele i aʻo ʻia o nā lāhui kaʻawale i loko o nā ʻano mea like ʻole, a pehea ka ʻokoʻa o nā mele i loaʻa ai.
I ko mākou hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ke mele ʻo Cinnyris Fuelleborni, a mākou i kapa ai ʻo ka manu lā ʻo Füleborn, ua manaʻo mākou aia kekahi manu ʻē aʻe e hīmeni ana i ka manawa like. Nānā pololei mākou i ka manu hīmeni, nānā i ka neʻe ʻana o kona nuku, a ʻaʻole hiki ke manaʻoʻiʻo i ka ʻokoʻa o kāna mele mai ka manu lā Moro like loa, ʻo Cinnyris moreaui, a mākou i hoʻopaʻa ai ma kahi ʻē aʻe," wahi a McEntee.
Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ʻaneʻane like nā mele o Cinnyris Fuelleborni mai ka poʻe Ikokoto ma Tanzania a me nā heluna Namuli ma Mozambique ʻoiai ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia e nā haneli haneli a me nā haneli haneli mau makahiki.
Ma muli o kēia noiʻi ʻana, hoʻopaʻapaʻa nā mea olaola ʻaʻole e neʻe nā hiʻohiʻona e like me ke mele aʻo ʻia a me ka huluhulu i nā lāhui kaʻawale. Ma ka ʻokoʻa, hoʻomohala lākou i nā impulses, e waiho ana me nā loli liʻiliʻi no ka manawa lōʻihi. I kekahi manawa he mau haneli mau makahiki.
