The Effect of Starvation on the Lipid and Carbohydrate Levels of the Gut of the Tropical Sea Urchin Echinometra mathaei (de Blainville)

Lawrence, JM (University of Hawai'i Press, 1970-10)

The utilization during starvation of the nutrient reserves in the gut of a temperate water sea urchin , Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, was measured by Lawrence et al. (1966) . There have been no investigations of the ...

Interspecific Shell Fighting in Three Sympatric Species of Hermit Crabs in Hawaii

Hazlett, Brian A (University of Hawai'i Press, 1970-10)

Interspecific competition is often difficult to measure due to the lack of a definitive limiting factor for the two (or more) species. The gastropod shell inhabited by a hermit crab represents a very discrete, definable ...
A Key to the Genera of the Ophichthid Eels, with Descriptions of Two New Genera and Three New Species from the Eastern Pacific

Rosenblatt, Richard H; McCosker, John E (University of Hawai'i Press, 1970-10)

A key is presented to distinguish the 44 recognized genera of the Ophichthidae. Two new genera are described: Ethadophis, represented by E. byrnei n, sp. (the genotype) and E. merenda n, sp., and Leuropharus (genotype ...
Marine Algae of Amchitka Island (Aleutian Islands). II. Bonnemaisoniaceae

Wynne, Michael J (University of Hawai'i Press, 1970-10)

Pleuroblepharis stichidophora gen. et sp. nov., from Amchitka Island in the Aleutian Island s, is described as new to science. This taxon is the only representative of the Bonnemaisoniaceae (Nemaliales, Rhodophyta) ...
Micropaleontology of a Miocene Core from the Western Tropical Pacific

Resig, Johnanna M; Ling, Hsin Y; Stadum, Carol J (University of Hawai'i Press, 1970-10)

In January 1968, members of the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics recovered a sediment core (S67-31) 110 cm long from the western tropical Pacific at 05°03.5'N, 166°56.2'E (Fig. 1). The sediment was cored by free-fall ...
A Morphological and Mineralogical Study of the Gray Hydromorphic Soils of the Hawaiian Islands!

Hussain, MS; Swindale, LD (University of Hawai'i Press, 1970-10)

Gray hydromorphic soils are imperfectly to poorly drained soils that occur on the coastal fringes of the Hawaiian Islands on surfaces of Pleistocene to Recent age. Mottling is characteristic of the soils, and gley horizons ...
Mucous Envelope Formation in Two Species of Hawaiian Parrotfishes (Genus Scarus)

Byrne, John E (University of Hawai'i Press, 1970-10)

Some parrotfishes have developed a unique capacity to form a mucous envelope at night. Scarus dubius and S. perspicillatus are two Hawaiian species that exhibit envelope-building behavior. Laboratory experiments indicate ...
