Distribution, Morphology, and Geochemistry of Manganese Nodules from the Valivia 13/2 Area, Equatorial North Pacific

Glasby, GP; Friedrich, G; Thijssen, T; Pluger, W L; Kunzendorf, H; Ghosh, A K; Roonwal, G S (University of Hawai'i Press, 1982-04)

Manganese nodules were collected during cruise 13/2 of R.V. Valdivia in 1976 in a small area of the equatorial north Pacific characterized by abyssal hill topography. The sediments are dominantly siliceous oozes in ...
The Effect of Temperature and Light on Metrosideros polymorpha Seed Germination

Burton, Philip J (University of Hawai'i Press, 1982-04)

Seeds of a Hawaiian rain forest tree species, Metrosideros polymorpha, were germinated at temperatures ranging from 5 to 35°C and under photosynthetic photon flux densities ranging from 0 to approximately 2000 IlE·m-2·s-1. ...
Inheritance of Rugose Leaf in Desmodium

Chow, KH (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 ...

Speciation and Evolution of Marine Fishes Studied by the Electrophoretic Analysis of Proteins

Shaklee, James B; Tamaru, Clyde S; Waples, Robin S (University of Hawai'i Press, 1982-04)

Electrophoretic analysis of proteins can be utilized to clarify the taxonomic status of species as well as the evolutionary interrelationships of populations, species, and higher taxa. Electrophoretic data for over 50 ...
