Behavioral and Ecological Relationships of a Parasite and Its Hosts within a Coral Reef System

Aeby, Greta S (University of Hawai'i Press, 1991-07)

The life cycle of the digenetic trematode Plagioporus sp. includes an intermediate stage that encysts in the scleractinian coral Porites compressa and an adult stage that probably resides in a coral-feeding fish. Coral ...
Bibliography of Albert Henry Banner's Contributions to Science

Titgen, Richard H (University of Hawai'i Press, 1991-07)

A. H. "Hank" Banner, professor of zoology at the University of Hawaii for more than 30 yr and member of the Editorial Board of Pacific Science, was author or coauthor of nearly 100 publications during his life (1914-1985). ...
Effects of Nutrient Enrichment and Water Motion on the Coral Pocillopora damicornis

Stambler, Noga; Popper, Nurit; Dubinsky, Zvy; Stimson, John (University of Hawai'i Press, 1991-07)

Exposure of the hermatypic coral Pocillopora damicornis (Linnaeus) to elevated levels of dissolved inorganic phosphorus did not affect the colony or the zooxanthellae. Exposure to elevated levels of dissolved inorganic ...
Effects of Two Petroleum Products on Pocillopora damicornis Planulae

Tan Te, Franklyn (University of Hawai'i Press, 1991-07)

Pocillopora damicornis planulae were exposed to different concentrations of benzene and gasoline:oil mixtures to determine the lethal concentrations and biological responses of the coral larvae. Bioassay tests with either ...
Energetics of a Predator-Prey Interaction: Corals and Coral-feeding Fishes

Gochfeld, Deborah J (University of Hawai'i Press, 1991-07)

Various hypotheses have been proposed to account for defense of a feeding territory by coral-feeding fishes. However, before the adaptive significance of feeding territories can be fully understood, energetics of ...
Fate of Carbaryl, l-Naphthol, and Atrazine in Seawater

Armbrust, Kevin L; Crosby, Donald G (University of Hawai'i Press, 1991-07)

The fate of carbaryl, l-naphthol, and atrazine was determined under light and dark conditions in filter-sterilized and raw (unfiltered) seawater. Carbaryl was hydrolyzed in the dark, quantitatively, to l-naphthol with ...
Fate of Model Xenobiotics in Calcareous Marine Algae

Inouye, Laura S; Crosby, Donald G (University of Hawai'i Press, 1991-07)

Uptake, depuration, and metabolism of p-nitroanisole (PNA) and p-nitrophenol (PNP) were investigated in Halimeda, Padina, and Porolithon species, all of which are calcareous marine algae found in tropical waters . ...
Introduction to Papers Resulting from the 1989 Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology Summer Program

Kinzie III, RA (University of Hawai'i Press, 1991-07)
Kinetics of Dark Oxygen Uptake of Pocillopora damicornis

Newton, PA; Atkinson, MJ (University of Hawai'i Press, 1991-07)

Colonies of Pocillopora damicornis were placed in a sealed aquarium in the dark. Water velocity was altered and measured in 10 different experiments. During each experiment, seawater in the aquarium was supersaturated with ...
Mortality and Settlement Success of Pocillopora damicornis Planula Larvae during Recovery from Low Levels of Nickel

Goh, Beverly PL (University of Hawai'i Press, 1991-07)

Effects on mortality and settlement of Pocillopora damicornis planula larvae during recovery from low levels of Ni++ were investigated. Results indicated that a nickel concentration of 9 ppm over 12 hr was sufficient to ...
Preliminary Observations on Effects of Pesticides Carbaryl, Naphthol, and Chlorpyrifos on Planulae of the Hermatypic Coral Pocillopora damicornis

Acevedo, Roberto (University of Hawai'i Press, 1991-07)

Planulae larvae of the reef coral Pocillopora damicornis were exposed to three pesticides in concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 100 ppm. Actively swimming planulae were held in test solutions for 96 hr, after which viability ...
Reproduction Effort in the Nudibranch Phestilla sibogae: Calorimetric Analysis of Food and Eggs

Haramaty, Liti (University of Hawai'i Press, 1991-07)

Phestilla sibogae, a nudibranch living on corals of the genus Porites, is rarely found on the reef at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, although Porites compressa is a dominant coral there. This is probably due to massive predation on ...
Summary of Albert H. and Dora M. Banner's Contributions to the Knowledge of the Family Alpheidae (Decapoda: Caridea)

Titgen, Richard H (University of Hawai'i Press, 1991-07)

Albert H. and Dora M. Banner produced a total of 43 documents (a thesis, a report, and 41 publications) on alpheid shrimp over a period of 47 yr. They studied the Indo-Pacific Faunal Region and focused on the systematics and ...
