Abundance and Diets of Rats in Two Native Hawaiian Forests

Sugihara, Robert T (University of Hawaii Press, 1997-04)

Snap traps were set and monitored in two native Hawaiian rain forests on Maui, Hawai'i, to determine the relative abundances, distributions, and diets of rodents. Black rats (R. rattus), Polynesian rats (R. exulans), and ...
Adaptive Radiation in the Hawaiian Drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae): Ecological and Reproductive Character Analyses

Craddock, Elysse M; Kambysellis, Michael P (University of Hawaii Press, 1997-10)

The entomologist R. C. L. Perkins pioneered observations of breeding site ecology for the endemic Hawaiian Drosophilidae, a renowned group of flies that has undergone explosive speciation and adaptive radiation into a ...
Additions to the Rust Fungi of Hawai'i

Gardner, Donald E (University of Hawaii Press, 1997-04)

In a 1989 publication, the 74 species of rust fungi (order Uredinales) known to occur in Hawai'i were listed, based on newly collected material; herbarium specimens, principally those at the Bernice P. Bishop Museum ...
Allenbatrachus, A New Genus of Indo-Pacific Toadfish (Batrachoididae)

Greenfield, David W (University of Hawaii Press, 1997-07)

Allenbatrachus is described as a new genus for two Indo-West Pacific species previously known as Batrichthys grunniens (Linnaeus, 1758) and Batrachus reticulatus (Steindachner, 1870). It is included in the subfamily ...
Ammolabrus dicrus, A New Genus and Species of Labrid Fish from the Hawaiian Islands

Randall, John E; Carlson, Bruce A (University of Hawaii Press, 1997-01)

Ammolabrus dicrus is described as a new genus and species of labrid fish from O'ahu, Hawaiian Islands. It is characterized by: dorsal rays IX,12; anal rays III,12; all fin spines flexible; caudal fin small and forked; ...
Benthic Communities on Lo'ihi Submarine Volcano Reflect High-Disturbance Environment

Grigg, Richard W (University of Hawaii Press, 1997-07)

Bottom surveys and collections on Lo'ihi Seamount, Hawai'i, revealed two distinct and recurrent benthic communities. One comprises bacterial mats and is closely associated with hydrothermal vents. The other consists of ...
Biodiversity and Biogeography of Benthic Marine Algae in the Southwest Pacific, with Specific Reference to Rotuma and Fiji

N'Yeurt, ADR; South, GR (University of Hawaii Press, 1997-01)

Occurrence and distribution of various species of benthic marine algae in Fiji and Rotuma were investigated, with the resulting floras being subjected to comparison indices (Jaccard) both between themselves and with ...
Checklist of Reef Fishes from Taiping Island (Itu Aba Island), Spratly Islands, South China Sea

Chen, Jeng-Ping; Jan, Rong-Quen; Shao, Kwang-Tsao (University of Hawaii Press, 1997-04)

A total of 49 families and 399 species of fishes was recorded from the reef area around Taiping Island (Itu Aba Island) in the Spratlys (Nansha Islands), located at 114°21'-114°23' E, 10°22'-10°23' N. Data were collected ...
Comparisons to the Century Before: The Legacy of R. C. L. Perkins and Fauna Hawaiiensis as the Basis for a Long-Term Ecological Monitoring Program

Liebherr, James K; Polhemus, Dan A (University of Hawaii Press, 1997-10)

As one means of assessing the impact of the past 100 yr of development and biological alteration in Hawai'i, the damselfly (Odonata: Coenagrionidae) and carabid beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) collections of R. C. L. ...
Coral Endolithic Algae: Life in a Protected Environment

Shashar, N; Banaszak, AT; Lesser, MP; Amrami, D (University of Hawaii Press, 1997-04)

Endolithic algae inhabiting skeletons of living corals appear to be adapted to an extreme environment created by the coral. However, measurements on three coral species from the genus Porites revealed that these corals ...
Disjunct Distributions of Halobates (Hemiptera: Gerridae) in the Pacific Ocean

Cheng, Lanna (University of Hawaii Press, 1997-04)

Five species of Halobates are specially adapted to a pelagic life. They all occur in the Pacific Ocean, each with a well-defined zoogeographical range. Only two species were caught in a series of samples collected between ...
Dispersal and Vicariance in Hawaiian Platynine Carabid Beetles (Coleoptera)

Liebherr, James K (University of Hawaii Press, 1997-10)

The monophyletic, native Hawaiian Platynini have diversified on the Hawaiian Island chain through progressive colonization, mixed with vicariance on the various islands. Single-island endemism stands at 97% of the species, ...
Hawaiian Miridae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera): The Evolution of Bugs and Thought

Asquith, Adam (University of Hawaii Press, 1997-10)

Composition of the Hawaiian Miridae is unusual in the preponderance of the subfamily Orthotylinae, with at least 10 independent colonizations. Most of these colonizations appear to have Indo-Pacific origins, but at least ...
