The Correlation of Soil Algae, Airborne Algae, and Fern Spores with Meteorological Conditions on the Island of Hawaii

Carson, Johnny L; Brown, R Malcolm Jr (University of Hawaii Press, 1976-04)

Correlations of the generic diversity of soil and airborne algae with altitude on the island of Hawaii are noted. Distribution of the soil algae was determine d by culturing an aqueous soil extract from designated altitudes ...

Mullin, Michael M; Evans, Pamela M (University of Hawaii Press, 1976-04)
The Distribution of Total and Organic Mercury in Seven Tissues of the Pacific Blue Marlin, Makaira nigricans

Shultz, Cynthia D; Crear, David (University of Hawaii Press, 1976-04)

Tissue samples from Pacific blue marlin (Makaira nigricans) were collected at a fishing tournament in Kona, Hawaii, in August 1973. Analyses of total and organic (methyl) mercury indicated that the marlin may be ...
Keloid in the Gray Reef Shark, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos

Smith, Albert C; Hartley, Fount K (University of Hawaii Press, 1976-04)

A gray reef shark, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos, was captured at Enewetak Atoll, the Marshall Islands, in 1972. Near the right pectoral fin was a large fungating tumor. Microscopically, no evidence of microorganisms or ...

Observations on the Behavior and Shell Types of Cypraea moneta (Mollusca, Gastropoda) at Enewetak, Marshall Islands

Renaud, Maurice L (University of Hawaii Press, 1976-04)

Aspects of the ecology and behavior of knobby and smooth Cypraea moneta at Enewetak Atoll, Marshall Islands, are presented. The habitats of C. moneta are described. A series of experiments based on aggregation, feeding, ...
Observations on the Morphology and Taxonomy of Phycopeltis hawaiiensis King (Chroolepidaceae)

Chapman, R L; Good, B H (University of Hawaii Press, 1976-04)

Observations with light and scanning electron microscopes indicate the foliicolous chlorophyte Phycopeltis hawaiiensis King (Chroolepid aceae) is subcuticular and polystromatic, produces sterile hairs, and induces a ...
Present Knowledge of the Systematics and Zoogeography of the Order Gorgonacea in Hawaii

Grigg, Richard W; Bayer, Frederick M (University of Hawaii Press, 1976-04)

Past knowledge of the order Gorgonacea in Hawaii is based almost exclusively on the collections of the United States Fish Commission steamer Albatross in 1902, which contain 52 species. Recent efforts to investigate the ...
Reproduction of Acacia koa after Fire

Scowcroft, Paul G; Wood, Hulton B (University of Hawaii Press, 1976-04)

The abundance, distribution, growth, and mortality of koa (Acacia koa Gray) seedlings after fires were monitored periodically on two burned areas on Oahu for 2.5 years. On one area, seedling density peaked at 95,300/ha ...
Sex Ratio, Size at Reproductive Maturity, and Reproduction of the Hawaiian Kona Crab, Ranina ranina (Linnaeus) (Brachyura, Gymnopleura, Raninidae)

Fielding, Ann; Haley, Samuel R (University of Hawaii Press, 1976-04)

Sex ratio and size at reproduction of Ranina ranina (Linnaeus) in Hawaii were investigated. A sample of 1596 Kona crabs collected over 1 year in Hawaiian waters was examined to determine sex ratio and size at ...
Thermal Tolerance in Tropical Versus Subtropical Pacific Reef Corals

Coles, Stephen L; Jokiel, Paul L; Lewis, Clark R (University of Hawaii Press, 1976-04)

Upper lethal temperature tolerances of reef corals in Hawaii and at Enewetak, Marshall Islands, were determined in the field and under controlled laboratory conditions. Enewetak corals survived in situ temperatures of ...
