Iziqhingi zaseGalapagos zidume ngezindlela ezihlukile, ezaphefumulela uCharles Darwin ukudala umbono wokuziphendukela kwemvelo. Namuhla, i-Archipelago ingenye yezindawo ezinkulu kakhulu zamagugu ama-UNESCO World Heritage, kanye ne-maritime Reserve.
Ososayensi bayazi ukuthi i-Ecosystem yesifunda igcinwa ngokuphakamisa amanzi acebile amanzi abandayo. Banikela ekukhuleni kwe-phytoplankton, lapho lonke i-ecosystem lichuma khona.
Izici zokugoba (inqubo yokuphakamisa amanzi abandayo kusukela ekujuleni kolwandle) ahlala engaziwa. Manje ososayensi bathole ukuthi iziqhingi zaseGalapagos zisekela kanjani indawo yazo eyingqayizivele.
Iqembu elivela eNyuvesi yaseSouthampton, isikhungo seNational Oceagraphic Center kanye neNyuvesi yaseSan Francisco de Quito e-Ecuador. Izazi zeze zenhlalologist zisebenzisa imodeli yekhompyutha enengqondo enesinqumo esiphakeme ukutadisha ukusakazwa kolwandle ezizungeze iziqhingi zaseGalapagos. Imiphumela yomsebenzi yanyatheliswa ku-Journal Nature Science Science.
Le modeli ikhombisile ukuthi ubukhulu bokugqilaza iziqhingi zaseGalapagos kungenxa yemimoya yasenyakatho yendawo. Bakha isiphithiphithi esiqinile entshonalanga yeziqhingi. Isiphithiphithi, nakanjani, siholela endleleni yamanzi ajulile ebusweni basolwandle. Ngakho-ke, ukuhanjiswa kwezakhi zomzimba okudingekayo ukuze kugcinwe i-galapagos ecosystem igcwaliswa.
U-Alex Forrian waseSouthampton University, owaqhuba isifundo, uthe: "Imiphumela yethu ikhombisa ukuthi iGalapagos Apverelling ilawulwa ukuhlangana komkhathi nolwandle." Ngokubona kwakhe, kuyadingeka ukunaka ngokukhethekile kulezi zinqubo, ukutadisha ukuthi i-Islands Chingystem eshintsha ngayo.
Futhi, ososayensi bakholelwa ukuthi izakhamzimba zifika kuphi futhi kanjani nezempi ze-galapagos zemvelo zizosiza ukuhlela ukwanda kwendawo yokugcina yasemanzini. Futhi shutha futhi ukuthi ungayiphatha kanjani "ezimweni zokukhula kwengcindezi yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu ekhulayo kanye nengcindezi yokusebenzisa abantu."
