Adult Age and Breeding Structure of a Hawaiian Drosophila silvestris (Diptera: Drosophilidae) Population Assessed via Female Reproductive Status

Craddock, Elysse M; Dominey, Wallace (University of Hawaii Press, 1998-07)

The Upper 'Ola'a Forest population of Drosophila silvestris, a dipteran species endemic to the island of Hawai'i, was studied to investigate adult age and breeding structure of this natural population. Analyses of ...
Age, Growth, and Mortality of Caulolatilus affinis (Osteichthyes: Branchiostegidae) from the Southern Gulf of California

Elorduy-Garay, Juan F; Ruiz-Cordova, Sergio S (University of Hawaii Press, 1998-07)

Age, growth, and mortality of the Pacific golden-eyed tilefish (Caulolatilus affinis Gill) were investigated. From a total sample of 7253 individuals taken from February 1986 to May 1987, the ages of a subsample of 3532 ...
Morphological Variation and Distributional Ecology of the Giant Micronesian Gecko (Perochirus scutellatus) of Kapingamarangi Atoll

Buden, Donald W (University of Hawaii Press, 1998-07)

Distribution, habitat preferences, and intraspecific variation in the giant Micronesian gecko (Perochirus scutellatus) are discussed for the first time, based on 136 recently acquired specimens together with field ...
Nonindigenous Ants at High Elevations on Mauna Kea, Hawai'i

Wetterer, James K; Banko, Paul C; Laniawe, Leona P; Slotterback, John W; Brenner, Greg J (University of Hawaii Press, 1998-07)

Ant surveys were conducted at high elevations (1680-3140 m) on the western slope of Mauna Kea Volcano on the island of Hawai'i to determine the extent of ant infestation in those highland communities and particularly to ...
Notes on Appearance and Speculated Behavior of the O'ahu 'O'o (Meliphagidae)

Lepson, Jaan Kaimanu (University of Hawaii Press, 1998-07)

The O'ahu '6'6 (Moho apicalis) was last collected in 1837, and is one of the rarest Hawaiian birds in museum collections. Despite the cultural importance of the '6'6 as a source of yellow feathers for Hawaiian ...
Population Genetics and Pattern of Larval Dispersal of the Endemic Hawaiian Freshwater Amphidromous Gastropod Neritina granosa (Prosobranchia: Neritidae)

Hodges, Marc H; Allendorf, Fred W (University of Hawaii Press, 1998-07)

Protein electrophoresis was used to study the population genetics of the endemic Hawaiian freshwater amphidromous gastropod Neritina granosa Sowerby. The genetic information was used to infer the pattern and degree of ...
Recent Replacement of Native Pili Grass (Heteropogon contortus) by Invasive African Grasses in the Hawaiian Islands

Daehler, Curtis C; Carino, Debbie A (University of Hawaii Press, 1998-07)

We surveyed 41 sites from throughout O'ahu that had been dominated by native pili grass (Heteropogon contortus) in the late 1960s. Pili grass was absent from 14 (35%) of those sites in 1997 and had declined in abundance ...
