Batch Fecundity and Spawning Frequency of Sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) off the Pacific Coast of Mexico

Hernandez-Herrera, Agustin; Ramirez-Rodriguez, Mauricio; Muhlia-Melo, Arturo (University of Hawai'i Press, 2000-04)

To estimate batch fecundity and spawning frequency of the sailfish, Istiophorus platypterus Shaw & Nodder, off the Pacific coast of Mexico, gonads from fish sampled at five tourist ports from 1989 to 1991 were ...
Distribution, Present and Past, of Rattus praetor in the Pacific and Its Implications

White, J Peter; Clark, Geoffrey; Bedford, Stuart (University of Hawai'i Press, 2000-04)

We outline the current distribution of Rattus praetor in Near Oceania and present new evidence for its association with prehistoric human settlement on some islands in Remote Oceania. We discuss the problems of ...
Ecology and Evolution of Drosophila ambochila, A Rare Picture-Winged Species Endemic to the Wai'anae Range of O'ahu, Hawaiian Islands

Kambysellis, MP; Craddock, EM; Montgomery, SL; Kaneshiro, KY; Edwards, K; Carlson, HL (University of Hawai'i Press, 2000-04)

The rare O'ahu picture-winged fly Drosophila ambochila Hardy & Kaneshiro is endemic to two windward ravines in the Wai'anae Mountains that harbor its host plant. Drosophila ambochila is an ecological specialist that breeds ...
Egg Dimensions and Shell Characteristics of Bulwer's Petrels, Bulweria bulwerii, on Laysan Island, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands

Whittow, GC; Pettit, TN (University of Hawai'i Press, 2000-04)

Measured values for Bulwer's Petrel eggs and eggshells from Laysan Island, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, were within 10% of predicted values available in the literature. In the absence of published predictive equations for ...
Floristic and Biogeographical Trends in Seaweed Assemblages from a Subtropical Insular Island Complex in the Gulf of California

Paul-Chavez, L; Riosmena-Rodriguez, R (University of Hawai'i Press, 2000-04)

Floristic and biogeographical trends of the seaweed assemblages in subtidial rocky areas were evaluated at 10 sites around Espiritu Santo Island in the Gulf of California. Seasonal sampling in two consecutive years with ...
Hawaiian Phoronida (Lophophorata) and Their Distribution in the Pacific Region

Bailey-Brock, Julie H; Emig, Christian C (University of Hawai'i Press, 2000-04)

Five Phoronis species are found in Hawaiian waters. Three were recorded previously, and two others, P. muelleri and P. pallida, are added here. Phoronis ovalis (the smallest) and P. hippocrepia are perforant species ...
Histological Analysis of Reproductive Trends of Three Porites Species from Kane'ohe Bay, Hawai'i

Neves, Elizabeth G (University of Hawai'i Press, 2000-04)

Gonad development and synchrony among Porites compressa, P. Zobata, and P. evermanni colonies, collected in Kane'ohe Bay during the summer of 1997, were histologically examined and compared. All three species are gonochoric ...
Larval Feeding of Scomber japonicus (Pisces: Scombridae) in the Gulf of California and Its Relation to Temperature and Chlorophyll Satellite Data

Sanchez-Velasco, Laura; Shirasago, Bernardo (University of Hawai'i Press, 2000-04)

Feeding habits of Scomber japonicus larvae in the central part of the Gulf of California during April 1984 and 1985 are described and compared. Satellite images of temperature and chlorophyll monthly average showed ...
Phylogenetic and Biogeographic Aspects of Sophora Sect. Edwardsia (Papilionaceae)

Pena, RC; Iturriaga, L; Montenegro, G; Cassels, BK (University of Hawai'i Press, 2000-04)

Sophora comprises 45-50 species of worldwide distribution, but no general proposal as to the evolution of this group has been put forth. We used cladistic relationships of the quinolizidine alkaloids (matrine, ...
Prehistoric Giant Swamp Taro (Cyrtosperma chamissonis) from Henderson Island, Southeast Polynesia

Hather, Jon G; Weisler, Marshall I (University of Hawai'i Press, 2000-04)

Subfossilleaf fragments of giant swamp taro (Cyrtosperma chamissonis) were recovered from archaeological contexts dating as early as A.D. 1451 (mean date) on Henderson Island (24 0 22' S, 1280 19' W), Pitcairn group-a ...
Three New Records for Micronesia of Cymothoid Isopods (Crustacea) Parasitic on Fishes
