Only 12 species of marine algae were known until now from the Desventuradas Archipelago. A recent collection added 10 species yielding a total of six Chlorophyta, nine Phaeophyta, and seven Rhodophyta. Only one species, ...
Deep-sea Benthic Fish of the Hawaiian Archipelago, Cross Seamount, and Johnston Atoll

Chave, EH; Mundy, BC (University of Hawaii Press, 1994-10)

More than 250 benthic fish taxa were photographed and videotaped by Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory submersibles at depths between 40 and 2000 m in the Hawaiian Archipelago, Johnston Atoll, and Cross Seamount. Most ...
Effects of Decreased Salinity on Expulsion of Zooxanthellae in the Symbiotic Sea Anemone Anthopleura elegantissima

Engebretson, Hilary; Martin, Karen LM (University of Hawaii Press, 1994-10)

Many natural conditions cause expulsion of zooxanthellae from corals and sea anemones. Recent studies have focused on causes and mechanisms of this release. We examined an incidence of bleaching in a field population of ...

Bohm, Bruce A; Koupai-Abyazani, Mohammed R (University of Hawaii Press, 1994-10)

The flavonoids and condensed tannins of Hawaiian Vaccinium reticulatum Smith and V. calycinum Smith have been isolated and their structures determined. Flavonoids present in both species were quercetin, quercetin-3- 0 ...
A Specimen of Nuku pu'u (Aves: Drepanidini: Hemignathus lucidus) from the Island of Hawai'i

Craig, Peter; Morrell, Tom E; So'oto, Kiso (University of Hawaii Press, 1994-10)

Terrestrial birds and large pteropodid fruit bats are hunted year-round for subsistence in American Samoa. To determine harvest levels, 13-18% of the hunters on the main island of Tutuila were interviewed at 3-month intervals ...
The Terrestrial Herpetofauna of the Ile des Pins, New Caledonia

Bauer, Aaron M; Sadlier, Ross A (University of Hawaii Press, 1994-10)

The herpetofauna of the Ile des Pins, New Caledonia, is documented on the basis of 269 specimens representing 14 species. Included among new material collected by the authors are all but one of the seven taxa ...
Type Specimens of Hawaiian Birds Named by Sanford Ballard Dole

Olson, Storrs L (University of Hawaii Press, 1994-10)

Sanford B. Dole described five nominal new taxa of Hawaiian birds in 1878, but because several of these names were quickly synonymized, their probable type specimens have been overlooked. Holotypes are here identified for ...
