Part 40 The Fijian Species of the Section Pandanus<br/><br/>Author(s): St. John, Harold Thu, 01 Jul 1976 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/10785 Title: The Diets of Sula dactylatra, Sula sula, and Fregata minor on Christmas Island, Pacific Ocean<br/><br/>Author(s): Schreiber, Ralph W; Hensley, Dannie A<br/><br/>Abstract: The diets of the Blue-faced Booby (Sula dactylatra), the Red-footedBooby (Sula sula), and the Great Frigatebird (Fregata minor) were studied byanalyses of reg urgitation samples. Flying fish and squid composed the majority ofthe diets, but the Frigatebirds also consumed numerous Sooty Tern (Sternafuscata) pulli. These data allow comparison with similar earlier studies of thesmaller bird species that inhabit the atoll and indicate that resource partitioningoccurs through the percentage of fish and squid taken and the size of the prey itemstaken, with the larger species of birds eating larger fish and squid.

Individuals of Tridacna maxima collected at Anae Island,Guam, spawned from November to March. On Palau, Hippopus hippopus spawnedin June and Tridacna crocea, in July.Tridacna crocea, T. maxima, and H. hippopus displayed a stereotyped developmentpattern in morphogenesis and rate of development. Fertilized eggs of T. crocea,T . maxima, and H. hippopus had mean diameters of 93.1, 104.5, and 130.0 um,respectively. The day-2 straight-hinge veligers of T. crocea, T. maxima, and H.hippopus had mean shell lengths of 155.0, 168.0, and 174.4 pm, respectively.Settlement occurred 12, 11, and 9 days after fertilization at a mean shell length of168.0, 195.0, and 202.0 pm for T. crocea, T. maxima, and H. hippopus, respectively.Metamorphosis was basically complete about 1 day after settlement. Juveniles ofT. crocea, T. maxima, and H. hippopus first acquire zooxanthellae after 19, 21, and25 days, respectively. Growth rates increase sharply after the acquisition of zoo xanthellae.Juvenile shells show first signs of becoming opaque after 47 days forT. maxima and after 50 days for H. hippopus.

Distribution of the soil algae was determined by culturing an aqueous soil extract from designated altitudes on agarizedinorganic growth media. Distribution of airborne algae and fern spores was determinedby investigations of viable particulate impactions on the surface of agarizedinorganic growth media identical to that used in culturing the soil samples.Little correlation occurs between the generic diversity of the airborne and soilalgae at corresponding altitudes, which suggests a cosmopolitan mixing of airbornepropagules that have been released from different altitudes. However, strikingrelationships were noted in the quantitative determinations of airborne green andblue-green algae and of fern spore impactions with the varying meteorologicalconditions of rain, fog-mist, and clear, sunny conditions accompanying thealtitude change.

In comparison, similar observations on Pbycopeltisepiphyton and other Phycopeltis species reveal that, although they are also foliicolous,they are supracuticular and monostromatic. Also, they neither producesterile hairs nor induce a wounding response in the host leaf. Because the observedcharacteristics of Phycopeltis hawaiiensis are similar to those of Cepbaleuros virescens andother Cephaleuros species, it is suggested that Phycopeltis hawaiiensis is probably aCepbaleuros species; however, the absence of reproductive structures renders thedesignation of a specific epithet problematic.

On one area, seedling density peaked at 95,300/ha 6 monthsafter the fire; 21 months later it had declined to 18,500/ha. On the other area, peakseedling density occurred at 2 months, with 20,400/ha; 26 months later, densityhad dropped to 7900/ha. Seedlings were not distributed uniformly over the burnedareas but were concentrated near koa seed trees. Height growth for seedlings on onearea averaged 2.6 cm/mo; on the other, 1.9 cm/mo. Several pathogens were identified,but only the root-crown fungus, Calonectria crotalariae, caused serious damage.More than 50 percent of the mortality on one burn was attributed to it. The regenerationin the burned areas studied indicates that koa will continue to be a componentof the forest vegetation. Thu, 01 Apr 1976 00:00:00 GMT
