Estimating nearshore coral reef-associated fisheries production from the main Hawaiian Islands. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Currently, information on nearshore reef-associated fisheries is frequently disparate or incomplete, creating a challenge for effective management. This study utilized an existing non-commercial fishery dataset from Hawai'i, covering the period 2004-13 ...

Predictive modeling of spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) resting habitat in the main Hawaiian Islands. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Predictive habitat models can provide critical information that is necessary in many conservation applications. Using Maximum Entropy modeling, we characterized habitat relationships and generated spatial predictions of spinner dolphin (Stenella ...

Whole genome sequence analysis supports the genomic mosaicism of the endangered Hawaiian duck (Anas wyvilliana) [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Hybridization and gene flow are now recognized as pervasive evolutionary processes, leading to research foci attempting to understand proximate evolutionary outcomes from such events.

The implementation of rare events logistic regression to predict the distribution of mesophotic hard corals across the main Hawaiian Islands [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Predictive habitat suitability models are powerful tools for cost-effective, statistically robust assessment of the environmental drivers of species distributions.

Cryptobenthic crab assemblages are more distinct across a 90 m depth gradient than 2500 km of shallow marine habitat in the Hawaiian archipelago [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Despite high biodiversity and the recognized importance of mesophotic habitats, most studies of coral reef community structure have focused on conspicuous taxa such as fishes and corals in shallow habitat

Identifying social clusters of endangered main Hawaiian Islands false killer whales

Endangered Species Research, 2023
The presence of distinct social groups within an animal population can result in heterogeneity in many aspects of its life history and ecology. The ability to accurately assess social group membership increases with the number of times individuals are ...

Subsurface temperature estimates from a Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS) reanalysis provide accurate coral heat stress indices across the Main Hawaiian Islands [PDF]

Scientific Reports
As ocean temperatures continue to rise, coral bleaching events around the globe are becoming stronger and more frequent. High-resolution temperature data is therefore critical for monitoring reef conditions to identify indicators of heat stress ...

The complete mitogenome of Ligia barack (Crustacea, Isopoda, Ligiidae), a recently described intertidal isopod species from the remote island of Nihoa [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources
We report the complete mitogenome of Ligia barack (Santamaria, Bork, Larson & Link 2025), an endemic isopod from Nihoa, Hawaii. The mitogenome contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and a non-coding control region.
