(University of Hawai'i Press, 1982-07)Antisera produced against octopine dehydrogenases isolated from a gastropod and a cephalopod were used to investigate structural and evolutionary relationships of this enzyme in a range of mollusks. Antisera against ...
-
(University of Hawai’i Press, 1982-01)Evidence obtained from archaeological and ancillary studies of paleoenvironment suggests that the prehistoric Polynesians had a far greater impact on the Hawaiian ecosystem than has heretofore been realized. Such impact ...
-
(University of Hawai'i Press, 1982-07)Several aspects of respiratory gas exchange are distinctive in the giant clam Tridacna squamosa, which obtains nutrients from symbiotic dinoflagellates found in the mantle. During the day, when more oxygen is produced ...
-
(University of Hawai'i Press, 1982-04)Four plants with rugose leaflets were found among 19 interspecific double-cross hybrid plants of Desmodium. It was found through test crosses and progeny tests that rugose leaflet was controlled by three pairs ofgenes which ...
-
(University of Hawai'i Press, 1982-04)A total of 134 species of finfishes and 8 species of invertebrates, which were caught near the Hawaiian Islands over a 26-month period, were examined for larval nematodes. A total of 21,746 ascaridoid larvae were ...
-
(University of Hawai’i Press, 1982-01)Hermatypic corals of Easter Island lost their zooxanthellae following a torrential downpour in mid-June 1980. Whitened corals were seen islandwide in a patchy distributional pattern. Corals recovered their coloration within ...
-
(University of Hawai'i Press, 1982-10)The genus Trematolobelia (Lobeliaceae) is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. It resembles Lobelia, except for its peculiar dehiscence. On ripening the capsules shed their epidermis and soft mesocarp, exposing the outer bony ...
-
(University of Hawai'i Press, 1982-07)The siphuncle, which is believed to empty the newly formed chambers of the shell by a process involving the active transport of NaCl, has the metabolic, enzymatic, and morphological features of a transporting epithelium. It ...
-
(University of Hawai'i Press, 1982-04)Maldivia triunguiculata (Borradaile), a xanthid crab, lives within chambers in the skeletons oflive Porites lobata corals. The chamber openings are readily recognizable on the live surfaces of P. lobata heads, and ...

(University of Hawai'i Press, 1982-07)The ultrastructure of the cardiac myofiber in Nautilus resembles that of bivalves more than the decapod cephalopods. The fiber is nonstriated, the mitochondrial density is relatively small and the cristae poorly developed, ...

(University of Hawai'i Press, 1982-07)In general, the oxygen affinity of hemocyanin does not decrease when tropical decapod crustaceans carryon gas exchange in air instead of water. Other oxygenation properties such as cooperativity and the Bohr shift ...
-
(University of Hawai’i Press, 1982-01)Geological and biological features of three of nine Gulf of Alaska seamounts surveyed by the National Marine Fisheries Service during the summer of 1979 are compared and discussed. A modified free vehicle photographic ...
-
(University of Hawai'i Press, 1982-07)The pedal retractor muscles of Strombidae contain high activities of both alanopine dehydrogenase and octopine dehydrogenase, raising questions as to the functions of these two enzymes during muscle anoxia associated ...
-
(University of Hawai’i Press, 1982-01)The taxonomy of the Indo-Pacific reef coral Astreopora is reviewed. Eighteen nominal species are synonomized to nine, which are characterized. One new species, A. scabra, is described.
-
(University of Hawai'i Press, 1982-10)In the laboratory Tonna perdix attacked and often engulfed individuals of five holothurian species. Two species, Stichopus chloronotus and S. horrens, sometimes escaped attacks by shedding a piece of body wall and bounding ...
-
(University of Hawai'i Press, 1982-10)Hawaiian Pinnidae consist of five species: Pinna muricata Linne, 1758, P. bicolor Gmelin, 1791, Atrina vexillum (Born, 1778), Streptopinna saccata (Linne, 1758), and the recently rediscovered Pinna exquisita Dall, Bartsch, ...
-
(University of Hawai’i Press, 1982-01)The labrid fish genus Xenojulis de Beaufort seems most closely related to Macropharyngodon Bleeker, differing principally in the pharyngeal dentition. It consists of a single species, X. margaritaceus (Macleay), which ...
-
(University of Hawai'i Press, 1982-07)Pyruvate kinase was partially purified from the spadix and retractor muscles of Nautilus pompilius. In both cases, the enzyme was activated by magnesium and potassium ions with similar affinities (apparent Ka values ...
