Distribution and Ecology of Birds of Japan

Higuchi, Hiroyoshi; Minton, Jason; Katsura, Chieko (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-01)

The effects of island biogeography are clearly seen in the avifauna of Japan. Species composition and distribution reflect Japan's geographic, climatic, vegetational, topographical, and geological characteristics. It is ...
Evolution of Hawaiian Ferns and Fern Allies in Relation to Their Conservation Status

Wagner, Warren Herb Jr (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-01)

Evolutionary and conservational differences between Hawaiian pteridophytes and angiosperms involve differences in life histories (free-living generations, fertilization, and spore dispersal). Very high base chromosome numbers ...
The Hawaiian Islands as a Model System for Ecosystem Studies

Vitousek, Peter M (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-01)

The Hawaiian Islands encompass an extraordinary range of variation in climate and soil age in a small area; the younger volcanoes are also extraordinary for their lack of variation in relief or topography, parent ...
Phytogeography and Ecology of Scalesia (Compositae) Endemic to the Galapagos Islands

Itow, Syuzo (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-01)

Scalesia (Compositae), a genus endemic to the Galapagos Islands, consists of 12 shrubby species distributed in the lowland dry zone and three tree species found in the mid-elevation moist zone. They are completely allopatric ...

Social Structure and Reproductive Systems of Tramp Versus Endemic Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of the Ryukyu Islands

Yamauchi, Katsusuke; Ogata, Kazuo (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-01)

Currently, 126 ant species have been recorded from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan. Of these, 54 species, many of which are probably new to science, have not yet been identified. A survey on species-habitat relationships made ...
Toward Ethical Treatment of Animals in Hawai'i's Natural Areas

Stone, Charles P (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-01)

Human alienation from nature is evidenced by minimal understanding of interrelationships in the wild and an emphasis on individual wild animals. Different viewpoints (utilitarian, biocentric, and theocentric) about ...
Variation in Reproductive Strategy of the Tropical Paper Wasp, Ropalidia fasciata (Hymenoptera: Vespidae), in Okinawa in Relation to Island Environmental Conditions

Ito, Yosiaki (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-01)

The tropical paper wasp, Ropalidia (Icariola) fasciata (F.), nests on leaves of gramineous plants (Miscanthus sinensis Andus. and sugarcane) in Okinawa, where there are frequent, strong typhoons. In Taiwan and Java, where ...
Why Do Introduced Species Appear to Devastate Islands More Than Mainland Areas?

Simberloff, Daniel (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-01)

Island biotas are viewed popularly as much more fragile than those of mainland areas and much more prone to damage from invaders. There are far too few data to assess this view thoroughly; for example, failed invasions are ...

Aspects of the Natural History of Pelagic Cephalopods of the Hawaiian Mesopelagic-Boundary Region

Young, Richard Edward (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-04)

Pelagic cephalopods of the mesopelagic-boundary region in Hawai'i have proven difficult to sample but seem to occupy a variety of habitats within this zone. Abralia trigonura Berry inhabits the zone only as adults; ...
Callidictyon abyssorum, gen. et sp. nov. (Rhodophyta), A New Deep-water Net-forming Alga from Hawai'i

Norris, James N; Abbott, Isabella A; Agegian, Catherine R (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-04)

Callidictyon abyssorum, gen. et sp. nov., an unusual, net-forming red alga, is described from deep-water Pacific collections made from the research submersible Makati'i at 80-m depths on Penguin Bank, off the island of ...
Larvae of Nearshore Fishes in Oceanic Waters of the Central Equatorial Pacific

Clarke, Thomas A (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-04)

Larvae of 72 taxa of nearshore fishes were identified from midwater trawl samples taken in oceanic waters between Hawai'i and Tahiti. Catches of nearshore fish larvae and number of taxa caught declined with distance from ...
Latitudinal Differences between Palau and Yap in Coral Reproductive Synchrony

Kenyon, Jean C (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-04)

Twenty-seven species of coral were examined for reproductive activity in Palau during late spring and early summer 1993, and 10 species in Yap during the last week of May 1993. Thirteen species in Palau were gravid, and ...
Mycorrhizae in Hawaiian Epiphytes

Gemma, JN; Koske, RE (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-04)

In surveys in the Hawaiian Islands, mycorrhizae occurred frequently in epiphytic, nonorchidaceous angiosperms and pteridophytes. Both vesicular-arbuscular (VA) and ericoid mycorrhizae were present in epiphytes growing ...
Notes on Ceramium (Rhodophyta: Ceramiales) from the Hawaiian Islands

Meneses, Isabel (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-04)

Ceramium is widely distributed and recorded from the coasts of the North Pacific Ocean. Thus, it is not surprising to find new species and new records of this genus among the numerous islands spread in this oceanic ...
Remains of Land Birds from Lisianski Island, with Observations on the Terrestrial Avifauna of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands

Olson, Storrs L; Ziegler, Alan C (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-04)

Early nineteenth-century accounts suggest that there were ducks and rails on Lisianski Island, although neither were present in 1891 when the first ornithological collector visited the island. Excavations and surface ...
A Small Collection of Skinks and Geckos from the Northwestern Islands of Fiji (Yasawa and Mamanuca Groups)

Shea, GM (University of Hawaii Press, 1995-04)

Three species of geckos and six species of skinks are recorded from the small islands of the Yasawa and Mamanuca groups of Fiji. All are common, widespread species occurring throughout Fiji. Habitat and other ecological ...
