Behavioral Responses of the Endemic Shrimp Halocaridina rubra (Malacostraca: Atyidae) to an Introduced Fish, Gambusia affinis (Actinopterygii: Poeciliidae) and Implications for the Trophic Structure of Hawaiian Anchialine Ponds.

Capps, Krista A.; Turner, Caroline B.; Booth, Michael T.; Lombardozzi, Danica L.; McArt, Scott H.; Chai, David; Hairston Jr., Nelson G. (Honolulu, University of Hawaii Press, 2009-01)

In the Hawaiian Islands, intentionally introduced exotic fishes have been linked to changes in native biodiversity and community composition. In 1905, the mosquito fish Gambusia affinis was introduced to control mosquitoes. ...
Characteristics of Scylla spp. (Decapoda: Portunidae) and Their Mangrove Forest Habitat in Ngaremeduu Bay, Republic of Palau.

Ewel, Katherine C.; Rowe, Stacy; McNaughton, Blake; Bonine, Kimberly M. (Honolulu, University of Hawaii Press, 2009-01)

Three species of mangrove crabs (Scylla spp.) were captured in live traps in Ngaremeduu Bay on the island of Babeldaob, Republic of Palau. Most were S. serrata, but one individual each of S. olivacea and S. paramamosain ...
Evidence for a Correlation between Systematics and Bioactivity in New Caledonian Cunoniaceae and Its Implications for Screening and Conservation.

Pillon, Yohan; Fogliani, Bruno (Honolulu, University of Hawaii Press, 2009-01)

It is generally assumed that there is a good correlation between systematics and the secondary compounds found in plants. However because of the frequent homoplasy of chemical characters this has been difficult to test ...
Expressions of 1976–1977 and 1988–1989 Regime Shifts in Sea-Surface Temperature off Southern California and Hawai‘i.

Breaker, Laurence C.; Flora, Stephanie J. (Honolulu, University of Hawaii Press, 2009-01)

Sea-surface temperatures off southern California from Scripps Pier and from Koko Head, Hawai‘i, were examined to determine what impact regime shifts that occurred in 1976–1977 and 1988–1989 had on environmental conditions ...
Grammonus nagaredai, a New Viviparous Marine Fish (Ophidiiformes: Bythitidae) from the Hawaiian Islands.

Randall, John E.; Hughes, Marc James (Honolulu, University of Hawaii Press, 2009-01)

Grammonus nagaredai is described as a new species of viviparous bythitid fish from two specimens collected from caves off O‘ahu and Hawai‘i at depths of 6–9 m. Grammonus yunokawai Nielsen, known from one specimen from a ...
Habitat-Mediated Use of Space by Juvenile and Mating Adult Port Jackson Sharks, Heterodontus portusjacksoni, in Eastern Australia.

Powter, David Mark; Gladstone, William (Honolulu, University of Hawaii Press, 2009-01)

Studies of spatial ecology of demersal sharks are critical to understanding the significance of habitat variation; however, limited information exists. Spatial ecology of adult Heterodontus portusjacksoni was studied at ...
Hyperiid Amphipods (Crustacea: Peracarida) in Mexican Waters of the Pacific Ocean.

Gasca, Rebeca (Honolulu, University of Hawaii Press, 2009-01)

Information on regional diversity of hyperiid amphipods of the eastern Pacific Ocean is still largely incomplete. Recent surveys of hyperiid fauna from the Mexican Pacific motivated a revision of extant faunistic accounts. ...
A New Live Bearing Species of Scincid Lizard (Reptilia: Scincidae) from New Caledonia, Southwest

Sadlier, Ross A.; Smith, Sarah A.; Whitaker, Anthony; Bauer Aaron M. (Honolulu, University of Hawaii Press, 2009-01)

A new species of skink, Kanakysaurus zebratus, is described from the ultramafic Massif de Kope´to and Massif de Koniambo on the northwestern coast of Grande Terre, New Caledonia. Although this new species is similar in ...
Reef-Top Sediment Bodies: Windward O‘ahu, Hawai‘i.

Bochicchio, Christopher; Fletcher, Charles; Dyer, Matthew; Smith, Thomas (Honolulu, University of Hawaii Press, 2009-01)

Hawaiian fringing reefs display sand bodies on their surfaces that are potentially important components of littoral sediment budgets. This work provides a regional survey of modern reef-top sediment storage and investigated ...
Subfossil Land Snails from Easter Island, Including Hotumatua anakenana, New Genus and Species (Pulmonata: Achatinellidae).

Kirch, Patrick V.; Christensen, Carl C.; Steadman, David W. (Honolulu, University of Hawaii Press, 2009-01)

The depauperate modern terrestrial biota of Easter Island contrasts with that of most other southeastern Polynesian high islands, which characteristically support a number of endemic species of insects, land snails, birds, ...
