Calcareous Organisms and Sediment Mineralogy on a Mid-Depth Bank in the Hawaiian Archipelago

Agegian, Catherine R; Mackenzie, Fred T (University of Hawaii Press, 1989-01)

The dominant calcareous organisms on Penguin Bank, a middepth bank (40-100 m) off the southwestern tip of the island of Molokai, Hawaii, are red and green algae, benthic foraminifera, and bryozoans. The sediments on ...
Demographic Studies on Hawaii's Endangered Tree Snails: Partulina proxima

Hadfield, Michael G; Miller, Stephen E (University of Hawaii Press, 1989-01)

Populations of the tree snail Partulina proxima, endemic to higher elevations of Molokai, Hawaiian Islands, were studied for 3 years. Analyses of the data derived from 17bimonthly mark-recapture events determined that ...
The First New Zealand Insects Collected on Cook's Endeavour Voyage

Andrews, JRH; Gibbs, GW (University of Hawaii Press, 1989-01)

The Banks collection of 40 insect species, described by J. C. Fabricius in 1775, is critically examined to explore the possible methods of collection and to document changes to the insect fauna and to the original collection ...
Gamma Radiation and Cold Treatments for the Disinfestation of the Mediterranean Fruit Fly in California-Grown Oranges and Lemons

Ohta, AT; Kaneshiro, KY; Kanegawa, KM; Nagamine, LR (University of Hawaii Press, 1989-01)

Low-dose gamma radiation and cold treatments were tested for their effectiveness in the disinfestation of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata, from California-grown navel oranges and Calfame lemons. Cold ...
Mycorrhizal Associations of Selected Plant Species from San Miguel Island, Channel Islands National Park, California

Koske, Richard E; Halvorson, William L (University of Hawaii Press, 1989-01)

Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) were detected in six native plant species: Camissonia cheiranthifolia ssp. cheiranthifolia, Coreopsis gigantea, Distichlis spicata, Dudleya greenei, Eriogonum grande ssp. rubescens, and ...
Recent Climate History of Hawaii

Nullet, Dennis (University of Hawaii Press, 1989-01)

The recent energy and synoptic climate of Hawaii is examined in this article. The results indicate trends in the energy climate, increasing temperature and decreasing solar radiation, though no evidence is found of trends ...
Rhogobius pressulus n. sp. (Copepoda: Siphonostomatoida) from a Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vent at the Galapagos Rift

Humes, Arthur G (University of Hawaii Press, 1989-01)

A new species of dirivultid copepod, Rhogobius pressulus, is described from a depth of 2451 m at a hydrothermal vent on the Galapagos Rift in the eastern Pacific. The new taxon is differentiated from its only congener ...
The Rust Fungi (Uredinales) of Hawaii

Gardner, Donald E; Hodges, Charles S Jr (University of Hawaii Press, 1989-01)

The fungi of Hawaii were documented by F. L. Stevens and other workers early in the 1900s. Since about 1925, however, little formal attention has been given Hawaiian rust fungi. This is the first study devoted exclusively ...
Simulation of Organic Chemical Movement in Hawaii Soils with PRZM: 1. Preliminary Results for Ethylene Dibromide

Loague, Keith M; Green, Richard E; Liu, Clark C; Liang, Tony C (University of Hawaii Press, 1989-01)

Leaching of agricultural chemicals to groundwater is an environmental issue of major concern in Hawaii. Fumigants used by the pineapple industry are a possible source of this contamination. In this paper we report the ...
