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 ...
Vesicular-arbuscular Mycorrhizal Inoculation of Hawaiian Plants: A Conservation Technique for Endangered Tropical Species

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

Forty species of plants (including 28 species endemic to the Hawaiian Islands) were evaluated in the greenhouse for their response to inoculation with the vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices Schenck ...
