Cephalopods in the Diet of Swordfish (Xiphias gladius) Caught off the West Coast of Baja California, Mexico

Markaida, Unai; Hochberg, FG (University of Hawaii Press, 2005-01)

The lower beaks of 1,318 cephalopods from the stomach contents of 175 swordfish, Xiphias gladius, caught off the west coast of Baja California, Mexico, between 1988 and 1996 were analyzed. In total, 20 species of teuthoids, ...
A colorful new species of albericus (Anura: Microhylidae) from Southeastern Papua New Guinea

Kraus, Fred; Allison, Allen (University of Hawaii Press, 2005-01)

We describe a new species of Albericus from the northern slope of Mt. Simpson, in the Owen Stanley Range of south eastern Papua New Guinea. The new species differs from all other known species of the genus in having pale ...
Distribution of the rough-toothed dolphin (Steno bredanensis) around the Windward Islands (French Polynesia)

Analysis of hydrologic, meteorologic, and isotopic data collected over 3 yr quantifies and explains the enormous variability and isotopic enrichment (δ18O = +16.9, δD = +50.0) of alpine Lake Waiau, a culturally and ...
New Records of Butterflies (Lepidoptera) from the Eastern Caroline Islands, Micronesia

Buden, Donald W; Sands, Donald P; Tennent, John (W John) (University of Hawaii Press, 2005-01)

Twenty-three new locality records are presented for nine species of butterflies (Lepidoptera) from 11 islands and island groups in the eastern Caroline Islands, Micronesia. None is endemic; most occur widely in the ...
An observation of inking behavior protecting adult octopus bocki from predation by green turtle (Chelonia mydas) hatchlings

Caldwell, Roy L (University of Hawaii Press, 2005-01)

There have been few studies that demonstrate a protective function of inking behavior of cephalopods. In this paper I report the use of ink pseudomorphs by adult Octopus bocki against predatory attacks from green turtle ...
Odontocete stranding patterns in the main Hawaiian islands (1937-2002): How do they compare with live animal surveys?

Maldini, Daniela; Mazzuca, Lori; Atkinson, Shannon (University of Hawaii Press, 2005-01)

In this study we (1) synthesized 65 yr of adontocete stranding data around the main Hawaiian Islands (1938-2002); (2) analyzed stranding patterns and trends over time; and (3) compared occurence patterns based on sightings ...
Review of clupeotoxism, an often fatal illness from the consumption of clupeoid fishes

Randall, John E (University of Hawaii Press, 2005-01)

Poisoning from eating clupeoid fishes such as sardines and herrings (Clupeidae) or anchovies (Engaulidae), termed clupeotoxism, is widespread in tropical and subtropical areas of the world but rare. A fatal case occurred ...
