Distribution and Biodiversity of Australian Tropical Marine Bioinvasions

Hewitt, Chad L (University of Hawai'i Press, 2002-04)

Marine invasions have been identified in virtually all regions of the world, yet relatively few introductions have been detected in the Tropics. This has been attributed at least in part to an increase in intrinsic native ...
Do Locals Rule? Interactions between Native Intertidal Animals and a Caribbean Barnacle in Hawai'i

Zabin, Chela; Hadfield, Michael G (University of Hawai'i Press, 2002-04)
Hawaiian Marine Bioinvasions: A Preliminary Assessment

Eldredge, LG; Carlton, JT (University of Hawai'i Press, 2002-04)
The Land Snails of a Small Tropical Pacific Island Aunu'u, American Samoa

Cowie, Robert H; Rundell, Rebecca J (University of Hawai'i Press, 2002-04)

Survey work on the American Samoan island of Aunu'u, a small island off the eastern end of Tutuila, combined with review of museum collections, increased the known land snail fauna of the island from 2 to 22 species. Of ...

Gussmann, Oliver A; Smith, Abigail M (University of Hawai'i Press, 2002-04)

Modem sedimentation in the Navua-Suva Lagoon, southeastern Viti Levu, Fiji, derives from both allochthonous siliciclastics and autochthonous marine carbonates. Sediments are characterized by a high insoluble load, ...
The Nibbler Girella leonina and the Soldierfish Myripristis murdjan from Midway Atoll, First Records for the Hawaiian Islands

Randall, John E; Stender, G Keoki (University of Hawai'i Press, 2002-04)

The girellid fish Girella leonina (Richardson) and the holocentrid Myripristis murdjan (Forsskal) are reported for the first time for the Hawaiian Islands from underwater photographs taken at Midway Atoll. Both species ...
Nonindigenous Species Introductions on Coral Reefs: A Need for Information

Coles, SL; Eldgredge, LG (University of Hawai'i Press, 2002-04)

Nonindigenous species invasions have caused disruptions of native communities and detrimental economic impacts to fisheries in many temperate marine areas. However, comparatively little information exists for tropical ...

Abbott, Isabella A; McDermid, Karla J (University of Hawai'i Press, 2002-04)

Two species of Kallymenia from the Hawaiian Islands, one rare, K. sessilis Okamura, and the other described here for the first time, K. thompsonii, n. sp., are examined, compared, and contrasted with other similar ...
Reproduction in an Introduced Population of the Brown Anole, Anolis sagrei, from O'ahu, Hawai'i

Goldberg, Stephen R; Kraus, Fred; Bursey, Charles R (University of Hawai'i Press, 2002-04)

The reproductive cycle of an introduced population of the brown anole, Analis sagrei, from O'ahu, Hawai'i, was studied from a histological examination of monthly samples collected July 1999 to June 2000. Males undergo a ...

Fautin, Daphne G; White, Tracy R; Pearson, Katherine E (University of Hawai'i Press, 2002-04)

Corallimorpharia is currently considered an order of hexacorallian anthozoans. Being skeletonless, its members are sometimes referred to as sea anemones, but they are morphologically more similar to members of ...
