Anchor Species and Epiphytes in intertidal Algal Turf

Stewart, Joan G (University of Hawai’i Press, 1982-01)

This study characterizes a turflike vegetation composed of benthic marine algae, in the low intertidal in southern California, by means of quantitative relative abundance data collected over a 2-yr period. The algae comprise ...
Beach Erosion at Waimea Bay, Oahu, Hawaii

Campbell, JF; Hwang, DJ (University of Hawai’i Press, 1982-01)

Waimea Beach on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, is a popular recreation area, which is presently endangered by severe erosion. The extent of shoreline erosion has been determined from comparison of an 1884 survey map with ...
Distribution Patterns of Terrestrial Hermit Crabs and Enewetak Atoll, Marchall Islands

Page, HM; Willason, SW (University of Hawai’i Press, 1982-01)

Habitat utilization, population structure, and activity were investigated for members of the family Coenobitidae on three islets at Enewetak Atoll, Marshall Islands. Small Coenobita perlatus ( < 8.0-mm carapace length) were ...
The Impact of the Prehistoric Polynesians on the Hawaiian Ecosystem

Kirch, Patrick V (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 ...
Mass Explusion of Zooxanthellae by Easter island Corals

Egana, Alfred Cea; DiSalvo, Louis H (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 ...

kostermans, AJGH (University of Hawai’i Press, 1982-01)
Photographic Investigations on Three Seamounts in the Gulf of Alaska

Raymore, Paul A Jr (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 ...
The Reef Coral Astreopora (Anthozoa, Scleractinia, Astrocoeniidae): A Revision of the Taxonomy and Description of a New Species

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.
A Review of the Monotypic Indo-Malayan Labrid Fish Genus Xenojulis

Randall, John E; Adamson, Thomas A (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 ...
Some Effects of Light on Coral Growth

Roth, Ariel A; Clausen, Conrad D; Yahiku, Paul Y; Clausen, Venus E; Cox, Walter W (University of Hawai’i Press, 1982-01)

The rate of coral growth under varied light regimes was tested using 45Ca uptake while temperature was held constant. Pocillopora damicornis and Acropora formosa, respectively, were used in Hawaii and Enewetak under ...
