The Annual Cycle of Oogenesis, Spawning, and Larval Settlement of the Echiuran Listriolobus pelodes off Southern California

Pilger, John F (University of Hawaii Press, 1980-04)

Listriolobus pelodes lives in aggregated populations in fine-grained sediments along the mainland shelf from northern California to Baja California, Mexico. This echiuran forms U-shaped burrows and uses its proboscis to ...
Aspects of the Natural History of the Midwater Fish Lycodapus mandibularis (Zoarcidae) in Monterey Bay, California

Anderson, M Eric (University of Hawaii Press, 1980-04)

Aspects of the biology of the mesopelagic fish Lycodapus mandibularis are considered, primarily on the basis of closing midwater trawl samples from Monterey Bay, California. Major population centers focus in eastern North ...
The Cirolanidae (Crustacea: Isopoda) of Australia: The Genus Pseudolana from the Queensland Coasts with Description of Three New Species

Bruce, Niel L (University of Hawaii Press, 1980-04)

The cirolanid genus Pseudolana is fully described, as are 4 species, of which 3 are new to science, I having been previously described as Orolana concinna. The relationship of the new genus to other cirolanid genera is ...
A Description of the Vexillifer Larvae of Pyramodon ventralis and Snyderidia canina (Pisces, Carapidae) with Comments on Classification

Markle, Douglas F; Olney, John E (University of Hawaii Press, 1980-04)

The first identified vexillifers (4.4, 6.0 mm HL) and 2 juveniles (10.5, 11.4 mm HL) of Pyramodon ventralis are described and compared with vexillifer larvae of Snyderidia canina (3.6,5.7 mm HL). The presence of pelvic fins, ...

A group of specimens representing 40 taxa of Hawaiian marine algae has come to light and is among the earliest collections of Hawaiian algae. Though only 24 of the specimens can be tallied with a list of 112 marine ...
Effect of Different Photon Flux Densities (PAR) on Seedling Growth and Morphology of Metrosideros collina (Forst.) Gray

Friend, Douglas J (University of Hawaii Press, 1980-04)

Seedlings of Metrosideros were capable of net accumulation of dry matter at photon flux densities as low as 13 umol m-2 s-1 PAR (about 0.6 percent sunlight), when grown under a 12-hour day1ength at 20° or 25°C for over ...
Hawaiian Alpine Lake Level, Rainfall Trends, and Spring Flow

Woodcock, Alfred H (University of Hawaii Press, 1980-04)

During the period May 1965 to November 1978 (162 months) 127 measurements were made of Lake Waiau water levels and overflow. This small perched body of water is located in Puu Waiau crater, at about 3970-m altitude, ...
