Tsamba kubva kune TOF Grantee: Kwatiri iko zvino neCorals of the World

NaCharlie Veron 

Makorari enyika ipurojekiti yakatanga nekuedza kwemakore mashanu kubatanidza yakazova enisaikoropidhiya ine mavhoriyamu matatu ine mifananidzo yairatidza kusiyana-siyana kwepasi rose kwemakorari, yakabudiswa muna 3. Asi basa guru iroro rakanga richingova mavambo—zviri pachena kuti taida kukurukurirana. on-line, inovandudzwa, yakavhurika-yekupinda system yaisanganisira maviri makuru maficha: Coral Geographic uye Coral Id.

Vhiki rino tinogona kuzivisa nerukundo izvozvo Coral Geographic, chimwe chezvikamu zviviri zvikuru zve Makorari enyika, iri kumusoro uye inoshanda kunyangwe (ndine hurombo) inofanirwa kuchengetedzwa password kusvika yagadzirira kuvhurwa. Yakagadzirirwa kupa vashandisi chishandiso chitsva kuti vazive zvese nezve makorari aripi. Mukuita izvi zvinodarika zvese zvinotarisirwa pakutanga sezvo zvichibvumira vashandisi kusarudza nzvimbo dzakasiyana dzepasi, kusanganisa kana kusiyanisa, nekukasika kugadzira mepu uye kunyora marudzi ekuita kudaro. Injiniya yewebhusaiti inosanganisirwa, ichimhanya papuratifomu yeGoogle Earth, yatora anopfuura gore kugadzira, asi yanga iri nguva yakashandiswa zvakanaka.

Chimwe chikamu chikuru, Coral ID netarisiro ichava shoma yedenho yehunyanzvi. Ichapa marudzi ese evashandisi kuwana nekukurumidza ruzivo nezve makorari, achibatsirwa netsananguro dziri nyore kuverenga uye dzakatenderedza 8000 mafoto. Mapeji emhando akagadzirwa uye isu pakupedzisira tine zvakawanda zvezvikamu zvinosanganisira yakakura macomputer inoverengeka data mafaira mumatunhu ekugadzirira. Iyo prototype inoshanda zvakanaka - inongoda kumwe kurongedza kwakanaka uye kubatana nayo Coral Geographic uye neimwe nzira. Isu tinoronga kuwedzera kiyi yemagetsi (yakagadziridzwa webhusaiti shanduro yekare Coral ID CD-ROM) kune izvi, asi izvo zviri pabackburner panguva ino.

Pane zvinhu zviviri zvinononotsa. Chekutanga ndechekuti isu takatoziva nekunonoka kuti tinoda kuburitsa mhedzisiro yebasa redu mumapepanhau esainzi akaongororwa nevezera rake pamberi pekuburitswa kwewebhusaiti, zvikasadaro mumwe munhu achatiitira izvi (ndiyo nzira iri kuenda nesainzi) . Mhedziso yekoral taxonomy ichangobva kugamuchirwa ne Zoological Nhoroondo yeLinnean Society. Chinyorwa chechipiri chikuru checoral biogeography chiri kugadzirirwa izvozvi. Migumisiro yacho inofadza. Hupenyu hwese hwebasa hwakapinda mune izvi uye ikozvino kwenguva yekutanga isu tinokwanisa kudhonza zvese pamwe chete. Izvi zvinyorwa zvichave zvakare pawebhusaiti zvichibvumira vashandisi kusvetukira pakati pehupamhi hwepamusoro uye ruzivo rwakanaka. Ini ndinotenda zvese izvi zvichave nyika kutanga, yehupenyu hwemugungwa.

Kunonoka kwechipiri kunonetsa. Isu taizobatanidza kuongororwa kwekusagadzikana kwezvipenyu mukuburitswa kwekutanga. Zvadaro, taita ongororo yehuwandu hwe data yatinayo, isu tave kuronga kuvaka module yechitatu, Coral Enquirer, iyo inopfuura kupfuura kuongororwa kwekusagadzikana. Kana tikakwanisa kupa mari nekuinjiniya (uye izvi zvichanetsa pane zvese zviri zviviri), izvi zvinopa mhinduro dzesainzi kune chero mubvunzo wekuchengetedza ungafungidzirwe. Inoda chinzvimbo, saka haizoverengerwe mukuburitswa kwekutanga kwe Makorari enyika izvo zvatiri kuronga kutanga kwegore rinouya.

Ndichange ndichikuzivisai. Iwe haugone kufungidzira kuti tinoonga sei nerutsigiro (rutsigiro rwekununura) rwatakagamuchira: zvese izvi zvingadai zvakapunzikira mukukanganwa pasina izvozvo.
