Izintuthwane ziyizingxenye ezigqamayo zemvelo eminingi yasemhlabeni. Izintuthwane ziyizilwane ezibalulekile ezidla ezinye, izilwane ezidla utshani, izimpungushe, futhi ezweni elisha, izilwane ezidla uhlaza. Izintuthwane ziphinde zihlanganyele ebudlelwaneni obumangalisayo bokuhlotshaniswa nezitshalo nezinye izinambuzane, futhi zingasebenza njengonjiniyela be-ecosystem njengamanxusa okushintsha umhlabathi, ukwabiwa kabusha kwezakhi, kanye nokuphazamiseka okuncane.

Zingaphezu kuka-15,000 izinhlobo zezintuthwane eziye zachazwa, futhi ezingaphezu kuka-200 ziye zasungula inani labantu ngaphandle kobubanzi bazo bomdabu. Ingxenye encane yalezi ibe abahlaseli abacekela phansi kakhulu okuhlanganisa intuthwane yase-Argentina (i-Linepithema humile), intuthwane enekhanda elikhulu (i-Pheidole megacephala), intuthwane ephuzi (i-Anoplolepis gracilipes), intuthwane encane yomlilo (Wasmannia auropunctata), kanye nebomvu. Izintuthwane zomlilo ezivela kwamanye amazwe (Solenopsis invicta) okwamanje ezisohlwini lwezinhlobo eziyi-100 zezilwane ezihlasela kakhulu emhlabeni (Lowe et al. 2000). Ukwengeza, ezimbili zalezi zinhlobo (i-Linepithema humile ne-Solenopsis invicta) ziphakathi kwezinhlobo ezine ezihlaselayo ezifundwe kahle kakhulu (Pyšek et al. 2008). Nakuba izintuthwane ezihlaselayo zibiza ngokwezomnotho kokubili ezindaweni zasemadolobheni nezolimo, imiphumela emibi kakhulu yokwethulwa kwazo ingase ibe eyemvelo. Izintuthwane ezihlaselayo zingashintsha kakhulu i-ecosystem ngokunciphisa ukuhlukahluka kwezintuthwane, ukuxosha amanye ama-arthropods, kube nomthelela ongemuhle kwezilwane ezinomgogodla, nokuphazamisa ukuhlangana kwezintuthwane.

Izintuthwane ezihlaselayo zakha izintuthwane ezincane futhi ezihlukile ezilethwe endaweni entsha ngabantu. Iningi lezintuthwane ezethuliwe lihlala livalelwe ezindaweni ezishintshwe abantu futhi ezinye zalezi zinhlobo zezilwane zivame ukubizwa ngokuthi izintuthwane ngenxa yokuthembela ekuhlakazweni okuqondiswa abantu kanye nobudlelwane obuseduze nabantu ngokuvamile. Nakuba amakhulu ezinhlobo zezintuthwane ziye zasungulwa ngaphandle kwezindawo zazo zomdabu, ucwaningo oluningi luye lwagxila kusayensi yezinto eziphilayo zezinhlobo ezimbalwa kuphela.

I-Antkey isisetshenziswa somphakathi sokuhlonza izinhlobo zezintuthwane ezihlaselayo, ezethulwa nezivame ukubanjwa emhlabeni wonke.

Lo khiye waklanywa ukuthi usetshenziswe nomsebenzi othi “Thola Okungcono Kakhulu”. I-Find best icelwa ngokuthepha isithonjana se-wand kubha yokuzulazula, noma ngokukhetha inketho ethi Thola Okungcono Kakhulu ekhabetheni lokuzula.

Umthombo wangempela: Lo khiye uyingxenye yethuluzi eliphelele le-Antkey ku-http://antkey.org (idinga uxhumano lwe-inthanethi). Izixhumanisi zangaphandle zinikezwe kumaphepha eqiniso ukuze kube lula, kodwa futhi zidinga uxhumano lwe-inthanethi. Izinkomba ezigcwele zazo zonke izingcaphuno zingatholakala kuwebhusayithi ye-Antkey, kanye namamephu okusabalalisa, amavidiyo okuziphatha, uhlu lwamagama olunezithombe ngokugcwele, nokuningi.

Lo khiye wathuthukiswa ngokubambisana ne-USDA APHIS ITP Identification Technology Programme. Sicela uvakashele ku-http://idtools.org ukuze ufunde kabanzi.
