Covering Response of the Echinoid Evechinus chloroticus (Val.)

Dix, Trevor G (University of Hawai'i Press, 1970-04)

Field and laboratory observations suggest that the covering response of Evechinus chloroticus is not significantly related to light avoidance. A positive response of the podia to contact stimuli elicits covering .which ...
Investigation of the Benthic Marine Flora of Hood Canal, Washington

Phillips, Ronald C; Fleenor, Bill (University of Hawai'i Press, 1970-04)

Hood Canal is a fjord (Kollmeyer, 1965) connected to Puget Sound (Fig. 1) . Water in the canal was reported as highly stratified owing to a large volume of freshwater runoff from the Olympic Mountains (Kollmeyer, 1965). ...
Microbial Biomass In the Euphotic Zone of the North Pacific Subarctic Water

Seki, Humitake (University of Hawai'i Press, 1970-04)

Microbiological investigations were made in the North Pacific subarctic water during spring of 1969. Total bacteria, heterotrophic bacteria, yeasts, and glucose uptake by microorganisms were measured in the euphotic zone. ...
The Morphology of Fimbria fimbriata (Linne) (Bivalvia: Lucinidae)

Allen, JA; Turner, JF (University of Hawai'i Press, 1970-04)

The morphology of the shell and soft parts of Fimbria fimbriata is described and compared with that of other members of the Lucinacea. Particular attention is given to the ligament and hinge of the shell, and to the ...
Movement Patterns of Field Rodents in Hawaii

Tomich, P Quentin (University of Hawai'i Press, 1970-04)

The setting for a 10-year study of the ecology of the plague organism is described. Four rodents, Mus musculas, Rattus exulans, R. rattus and R. norvegicus, were investigated during 1959-64 by the mark-and-release method, ...
A Numerical Taxonomic Study of Hawaiian Reef Corals

Powers, Dennis (University of Hawai'i Press, 1970-04)

Sixty characters were measured and used in multivariate statistical programs to study the systematics of 20 species of Hawaiian corals. Correlation and distance phenograms and a computer-generated, three-dimensional model ...
Opisthobranch Mollusks from the Southern Tropical Pacific

Marcus, Ernst; Marcus, Eveline (University of Hawai'i Press, 1970-04)

Goos, RD (University of Hawai'i Press, 1970-04)

The order Phallales, as outlined by Cunningham (1942) and Zeller (1949), contains three families and approximately 20 genera of fleshy basidiomycetes, which, because of their usually stalked fruiting bodies and foetid ...
The "Staminodia" of the Genus Schiedea (Caryophyllaceae) and Three New Hawaiian Species. Hawaiian Plant Studies 32

St. John, Harold (University of Hawai'i Press, 1970-04)

The genus Schiedea was described in 1826 by Chamisso and Schlechtendal, based upon the single species S. ligustrina. Successive botanists made new discoveries in, and added more species to, the genus. Lastly, Sherff ...
Studies on Singapore Pollen

Rao, AN; Lee, YK (University of Hawai'i Press, 1970-04)

The pollen flora of Singapore and Malaya has been studied very little despite the wealth of the lush tropical vegetation. In well-known works on pollen morphology (Wodehouse, 1935; Erdtman, 1952) few of the indigenous plants ...

Mathewson, Christopher C (University of Hawai'i Press, 1970-04)

The north insular shelf of Molokai is a smooth plain, gently dipping seaward, with three slight steps, one occurring between the 30- and 60-foot isobaths, one between the 150- and 180-foot isobaths, and one near the ...
