E phatlalatsa 2022 Boyd Lyon Scholar

Selemo se seng le se seng, Letlole la Boyd Lyon Sea Turtle Fund le fana ka lihlapiso bakeng sa moithuti oa baeloji ea metsing eo lipatlisiso tsa hae li shebaneng le likolopata tsa leoatleng. Mohlodi wa selemo sena ke Josefa Munoz.

Sefa (Josefa) Muñoz o hlahetse le ho hōlela Guam mme a fumana BS ho Biology ho tsoa Univesithing ea Guam (UOG).

Joaloka seithuti sa pele, o ile a fumana takatso ea hae ea ho etsa lipatlisiso le paballo ea likolopata tsa leoatleng ha a ntse a ithaopela ho ba Moetapele oa Patrol bakeng sa Haggan (Turtle ka puo ea Chamoru) Lenaneo la ho Shebella, le neng le tsepamisitse maikutlo ho lekola mosebetsi oa ho haha ​​​​likolopata tsa leoatleng. Ka mor'a ho fumana mangolo, Sefa o ile a sebetsa e le setsebi sa baeloji ea likolopata tsa leoatleng 'me o ne a kholisehile hore o batla ho ntšetsa pele tsebo ea likolopata tsa leoatle tse tala tsa US Pacific Island Region (PIR).Chelonia mydas). Joaloka Motheo oa Sechaba oa Liphuputso tsa Graduate Research Fellow, Sefa hona joale ke seithuti sa PhD sa Marine Biology se eletsoang ke Dr. Brian Bowen Univesithing ea Hawai'i e Mānoa (UH Mānoa).

Morero oa Sefa o ikemiselitse ho sebelisa satellite telemetry le stable isotope analysis (SIA) ho khetholla le ho khetholla libaka tsa bohlokoa tsa ho batla lijo le litsela tsa ho falla tse sebelisoang ke likolopata tse tala tse lulang sehlaheng sa US PIR, tse kenyeletsang American Sāmoa, Hawaiian Archipelago, le Mariana Archipelago. Maemo a Isotopic a lijo a ngolisoa ka har'a 'mele oa phoofolo ha limatlafatsi li bokellana ho tsoa lijong ka nako e telele, kahoo litekanyetso tse tsitsitseng tsa isotope tsa linama tsa liphoofolo li bonts'a lijo tsa eona le tikoloho eo li furung ho eona. Ka hona, litekanyetso tse tsitsitseng tsa isotope li ka senola sebaka sa pele sa phoofolo ha e ntse e feta har'a libaka le libaka tse fapaneng tsa lijo.

SIA e fetohile mokhoa o nepahetseng, o baballang chelete e ngata oa ho ithuta liphoofolo tse sa fumaneheng (mohlala, likolopata tsa leoatleng).

Le hoja telemetry ea sathelaete e fana ka mokhoa o nepahetseng haholoanyane oa ho fumana sebaka sa ho fepa likolopata tsa morao-rao, e theko e boima 'me ka kakaretso e hlahisa boitsebiso bakeng sa karolo e nyenyane feela ea baahi. Ho khoneha ha SIA ho lumella boholo ba sampuli e kholoanyane e nang le baemeli ho feta boemong ba baahi, e ka rarollang libaka tse ngata tsa ho batla lijo tse sebelisoang ke boholo ba likolopata tsena tse tala ka mor'a ho noha. SIA e kopantsoeng le data ea telemetry e hlahile e le mokhoa o kopanyang oa ho fumana libaka tse batlang lijo tsa likolopata tsa leoatleng, 'me ea morao-rao e ka sebelisoa ho rarolla litsela tsa ho falla. Ka kopanelo, lisebelisoa tsena li ka thusa ho fumana libaka tse tlang pele bakeng sa boiteko ba paballo bakeng sa likolopata tse tala tse kotsing le tse kotsing.

Ka tšebelisano 'moho le Setsi sa Saense sa Lihlekehleke tsa Pacific sa NOAA Fisheries Science Center Marine Turtle Biology and Assessment, Sefa e sebelisitse li-tag tsa GPS tsa sathelaete ho aha likolopata tse tala tsa leoatle Guam hammoho le ho bokella le ho sebetsana le lisampole tsa letlalo la SIA. Ho nepahala ha likhokahano tsa GPS ho tsoa ho telemetry ea sathelaete ho tla thusa ho fokotsa litsela tsa ho falla ha likolopata tse tala le libaka tsa ho batla lijo le ho netefatsa ho nepahala ha SIA, e seng e tlameha ho etsoa US PIR. Ntle le projeke ena, lipatlisiso tsa Sefa li shebane le metsamao ea likhupata tsa leoatleng le botala ho potoloha Guam. Hape, ho ts'oana le lintho tse tlang pele ho lipatlisiso tsa Boyd Lyon, Sefa e ikemiselitse ho fumana temohisiso ka likolopata tse tona tsa leoatleng ka ho ithuta maano a ho tsoalla le ho ikatisa ha palo ea likolopata tse tala tsa Guam.

Sefa o hlahisitse liphuputso tsa pele tsa phuputso ena likopanong tse tharo tsa saense 'me a fana ka litšebeletso ho baithuti ba sekolo se mahareng le ba pele ba Guam.

Ka nako ea hae ea masimong, Sefa o ile a theha le ho etella pele 2022 Sea Turtle Research Internship moo a ileng a koetlisa baithuti ba robong ba tsoang Guam hore ba iketsetse lipatlisiso tsa lebopo la leoatle ho tlaleha liketsahalo tsa ho haha ​​​​sehlaha le ho thusa ho etsa sampole ea likokoana-hloko, ho etsa matšoao a boitsebahatso, ho tšoaea sathelaete, le ho epolla ha sehlaha.
