Kumene tili tsopano ndi Corals of the World

Kalata yochokera kwa TOF Grantee: Kumene tili pano ndi Corals of the World

Wolemba Charlie Veron 

Ntchito ya Corals of the World ndi ntchito imene inayamba ndi khama la zaka zisanu lophatikiza buku lokhala ndi mabuku atatu lokhala ndi zithunzi zosonyeza kusiyanasiyana kwa miyala yamchere yapadziko lonse, lofalitsidwa mu 3. Komabe ntchito yaikulu imeneyo inali chiyambi chabe—mwachionekere. tinkafunika njira yolumikizirana pa intaneti, yosinthika, yotsegula yomwe imaphatikizapo zigawo ziwiri zazikulu: Coral Geographic ndi Coral Id.

Sabata ino titha kulengeza mwachipambano kuti Coral Geographic, imodzi mwa zigawo ziwiri zazikulu za Corals of the World, ikuyenda ngakhale (pepani) iyenera kutetezedwa mawu achinsinsi mpaka itakonzeka kuyambitsa. Zapangidwa kuti zipatse ogwiritsa ntchito chida chatsopano kuti adziwe zonse zomwe ma coral ali. Pochita izi zimaposa zomwe zinkayembekeza poyamba chifukwa zimalola ogwiritsa ntchito kusankha mbali zosiyanasiyana za dziko lapansi, kuziphatikiza kapena kuzisiyanitsa, kupanga mapu ndikulemba mitundu yoti achite zimenezo. Ukatswiri watsamba lawebusayiti womwe ukukhudzidwa, womwe ukuyenda pa nsanja ya Google Earth, watenga chaka chimodzi kuti upangidwe, koma yakhala nthawi yayitali.

Chigawo china chachikulu, ID ya Coral mwachiyembekezo sichikhala ndi zovuta zaukadaulo. Ipatsa ogwiritsa ntchito amitundu yonse mwayi wodziwa zambiri zamakorali, mothandizidwa ndi mafotokozedwe osavuta kuwerenga komanso zithunzi pafupifupi 8000. Masamba amitundu adapangidwa ndipo pamapeto pake tili ndi zigawo zambiri kuphatikiza mafayilo amakompyuta owerengeka pasadakhale pokonzekera. Chitsanzo chimagwira ntchito bwino - chimangofunika kukonzedwa bwino ndikulumikizana ndi Coral Geographic ndi mosemphanitsa. Tikukonzekera kuwonjezera kiyi yamagetsi (yosinthidwa tsamba latsamba la Coral ID CD-ROM yakale) ku izi, koma zomwe zili kumbuyo pakadali pano.

Pakhala pali zinthu zingapo zochedwetsa. Choyamba ndi chakuti tazindikira mochedwa kuti tikufunika kufalitsa zotsatira zazikulu za ntchito yathu m'magazini asayansi owunikiridwa ndi anzathu tsambalo lisanatulutsidwe, apo ayi, wina angatichitire izi (momwemo ndi momwe sayansi ikulowera) . Kufotokozera mwachidule za coral taxonomy kwangovomerezedwa ndi Zoological Journal ya Linnean Society. Mpukutu waukulu wachiwiri pa coral biogeography ukukonzedwa tsopano. Zotsatira zake ndi zabwino kwambiri. Nthawi zonse ntchito yapita mu izi ndipo tsopano kwa nthawi yoyamba timatha kukoka zonse pamodzi. Zolemba izi zidzakhalanso pa tsamba la webusayiti zomwe zimalola ogwiritsa ntchito kudumpha pakati pazowunikira komanso tsatanetsatane. Ndikukhulupirira kuti zonsezi zikhala dziko loyamba, kwa zamoyo zam'madzi.

Kuchedwa kwachiwiri kumakhala kovuta kwambiri. Tikuphatikizira kuwunika kwa chiwopsezo cha zamoyo m'kutulutsidwa koyamba. Kenako, titawunika kuchuluka kwa deta yomwe tili nayo, tsopano tikukonzekera kupanga gawo lachitatu, Coral Enquirer, lomwe limapitilira kuwunika kwachiwopsezo. Ngati titha kulipirira ndikuzipanga (ndipo izi zikhala zovuta pazigawo zonse ziwiri), izi zipereka mayankho ozikidwa pa sayansi ku funso lililonse lachitetezo lomwe lingaganizidwe. Ndizofuna kwambiri, kotero siziphatikizidwa pakutulutsidwa koyamba kwa Corals of the World komwe tikukonzekera koyambirira kwa chaka chamawa.

Ndikhala ndikukudziwitsani. Simungaganizire momwe timayamikirira thandizo (ndalama zopulumutsira) zomwe talandira: zonsezi zikanagwera pakuiwalika popanda izo.

Charlie Veron (aka JEN Veron) ndi wasayansi wam'madzi yemwe ali ndi ukadaulo wosiyanasiyana wamatanthwe ndi matanthwe. Iye ndi Chief Scientist wakale wa Australian Institute of Marine Sciences (AIMS) ndipo tsopano ndi Adjunct Pulofesa wa mayunivesite awiri. Amakhala pafupi ndi Townsville Australia komwe adalembapo mabuku 13 ndi monographs komanso pafupifupi 100 zolemba zodziwika bwino komanso zasayansi pazaka 40 zapitazi.
