レッドフォックスの生態: 食物供給と野生動物保護の未来

参照記事 India: los zorros rojos dependen cada vez más de la basura y restos de comida

インド:レッドフォックスがゴミや食べ物の残り物にますます依存している

インド北部では、レッドフォックスがキッチンのゴミを漁る姿が見られるようになっています。野生動物が食べ物の残り物に依存するようになると、生態系のプロセスに影響を及ぼし、人間との衝突が増える可能性があります。

トランスヒマラヤの辺境に位置するスピティ渓谷は、インドで最も人口が少ない地域の一つであり、希少で絶滅の危機に瀕した多くの野生動物の生息地です。ここでは、シベリアアイベックスのような野生の草食動物を見るために、時には5000メートル(16,404フィート)の高さにある高地の牧草地まで歩かなければならないことがあります。ユキヒョウを見たい場合は、ヒマラヤのブルーシープの群れを追跡し、同じことをしているユキヒョウに遭遇するのを待つ必要があるかもしれません。ヒマラヤオオカを見たい場合は、まあ、幸運を祈ります。

しかし、レッドフォックスを見たい場合は、村に行き、夕食後に静かに散歩するだけで良いのです。キッチンのゴミ捨て場、通常は裏庭に捨てられる小さな食べ物の残り物の山を漁るフォックスを見ることができるでしょう。

インド野生動物研究所(WII)の研究者によれば、この広大な開けた風景の中でも、人間と野生動物が出会うのは避けられないとのことです。最近、乾燥環境ジャーナルに発表された研究では、研究者たちはトランスヒマラヤの3つの州にある5つの地域とカシミールのダチガム国立公園におけるレッドフォックスの食生活を分析しました。スピティ渓谷、ラダック、およびカルギルのチクタン村など人間に近い場所では、レッドフォックスが食べた食物の30%から55%が人間の供給源からのものであることがわかりました。

ヒマラヤの人々は、意図せずにこれらの動物に大量の食物を供給しています。捨てられた肉の骨、果物、死んだ家畜、穀物、そしてプラスチック、紙、ゴムなどの食べられないものを含んでおり、研究者たちはこれらを婉曲的に「人間由来の素材」(HDM)と呼びました。

これは新しい現象ではなく、レッドフォックスに限定されたものでもありません。

コスモポリタンな消費者

科学者たちは、人間が狩猟採集民だった頃から、野生動物の食生活に供給を続けてきたと指摘しています。実際、家庭犬は、先史時代の人間のゴミ捨て場に引き寄せられた祖先から進化したと考えられています。

時間の経過とともに選択肢は増えていきました。今日では、野生動物はコミュニティのキッチンゴミ、都市のゴミ捨て場や埋立地、沿岸地域で捨てられた漁獲物、さらには人々が直接与える食べ物(例えばサルに与えるもの)にアクセスできるようになっています。オーストラリアのシドニー大学の生態学者で教授のトーマス・ニューサムは、ディンゴなどの野生の肉食動物への食料補助の影響を研究しており、食品廃棄物を消費するほとんどの種は、特定の食べ物に依存しないジェネラリスト(一般食性の動物)であると述べています。

レッドフォックスはその食習慣において特にコスモポリタンです。北半球全体に分布するこの種は、齧歯類、小鳥、卵、トカゲ、昆虫、果物、ベリー、そして他の動物の屠殺された死骸を食べます。

そのため、ヒマラヤでのコンテナ漁りへのこの多様な食事の移行は、あまり驚くべきことではありません。しかし、動物たちはどのような動機を持っているのでしょうか?彼らは何を考えていたのでしょうか?

「私はあまりエネルギーを使わずに食べ物を手に入れている」と、WIIの科学者でありレッドフォックス研究の主要な研究者の一人であるビラール・ハビブは述べています。

このような食事は、レッドフォックスのような動物には短期的には有益かもしれません。研究によれば、供給された食物は動物の体重を増加させ、繁殖能力を高め、交尾や子孫を持つ可能性を改善します。

その理由の一つは、供給された食物が「予測可能で、カロリーが豊富で、消化が容易な食物源」であるためだと、インドのバンガロールにあるアショカ・トラスト・フォー・リサーチ・イン・エコロジー・アンド・エンバイロメント(ATREE)の生態学者アスミタ・セングプタは述べています。セングプタは、西ベンガル州のブクサ・タイガー・リザーブでマカク・ルス(Macaca mulatta)の食物供給の影響を研究しています。

ニューサムは、自然の食物供給の不足が野生動物を人間の補助食品に引き寄せる可能性があると付け加えました。しかし、このような行動のコストは、その利益を大幅に上回ると、3人の研究者は述べています。

ファーストフードの危険性

トランスヒマラヤの辺境でさえ、現在人間が生成する廃棄物にはプラスチックや薬品が含まれており、これらはレッドフォックスにとって非常に有害である可能性があるとハビブは指摘しました。

ゴミ箱へのこのような浸入は、さらに大きく強力な肉食競争相手である家庭犬を引き寄せます。2015年には、インドの自然保護財団とアメリカのスノーレパード・トラストの研究者たちが、レッドフォックスと犬がスピティの同じコミュニティやゴミ捨て場にしばしば引き寄せられることを報告しました。犬の存在が、一般的に孤独なレッドフォックスに遠ざかるように促すことはありませんでした。これらの野良犬や野生犬は群れを作って移動し、レッドフォックスを攻撃し、犬ジステンパーなどの病気を野生動物に広める可能性があります。

たとえ野良犬がいなかったとしても、ハビブは野生動物が食物廃棄物にアクセスする際に他の問題があると述べました。

「コミュニティの周りには本来2匹のレッドフォックスがいるはずですが、このゴミは5匹か6匹のレッドフォックスを養っています。野生動物愛好家はこれが良いことだと思うかもしれませんが、長い目で見ればこの種に問題をもたらす可能性があります」と彼は述べました。

ニューサムも同意し、供給が人間との衝突の可能性を高めると付け加えました。「食物廃棄物は野生動物の活動のマグネットとして機能するため、動物を非常に人間に近づける可能性があります」とニューサムは述べ、これが大型捕食者による家畜や人への攻撃を引き起こす可能性があると警告しました。

「現在、野生動物に対して寛容なコミュニティでも、このような状況が続けば否定的な態度を持つようになるかもしれません」とハビブは追加しました。

レッドフォックスのような野生動物の不均衡な増加は、自然界の他の動物にも影響を及ぼす可能性があります。これは「過剰捕食」と呼ばれる現象で、ゴミによる肉食動物の数の増加が、例えばレッドフォックスの場合、ロイルのピカ(ヒマラヤ地域に生息する小型の哺乳類です。ピカはウサギ科の動物で、体長は約15~20センチメートル、体重は約120~180グラムと小型です。)のような自然の獲物種への攻撃の増加を引き起こす可能性があります。しかし、獲物種は捕食者の数に対応できず、最終的には絶滅するかもしれません。自然の獲物がいなくなると、肉食動物はますます廃棄物に依存することになります。

The History of Pinball Machines

Pinball machines have a rich and fascinating history. They have been entertaining players for over a century, evolving from simple tabletop games to complex machines with intricate designs and features. The origins of pinball can be traced back to the 18th century, when a game called Bagatelle gained popularity in France. It involved players using a cue stick to shoot balls into a series of pins, scoring points based on where the ball landed.

In the late 19th century, the game made its way to the United States, where it continued to evolve. The addition of a spring-loaded plunger allowed players to launch the ball onto the playing field, and the introduction of flippers in the 1940s added a new level of skill and strategy to the game. Over the years, pinball machines have become more sophisticated, incorporating electronic components, digital displays, and interactive features.
