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 ...

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 ...

Length-based assessment of coral reef fish populations in the main and northwestern Hawaiian islands. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The coral reef fish community of Hawaii is composed of hundreds of species, supports a multimillion dollar fishing and tourism industry, and is of great cultural importance to the local population. However, a major stock assessment of Hawaiian coral reef

Complex Dispersal of Adult Yellowfin Tuna From the Main Hawaiian Islands [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Local availability of yellowfin tuna, Thunnus albacares, is a key economic, dietary and cultural concern for Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) communities and insular fisheries. Consequently, interactions of inshore vs.

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 ...

Geographic variation of persistent organic pollutants in Hawaiian monk seals Monachus schauinslandi in the main Hawaiian Islands

Endangered Species Research, 2014
Geographic variation in the levels of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) was assessed in the serum of Hawaiian monk seals Monachus schauinslandi from the main Hawaiian Islands. Twenty seals were outfitted with tracking devices to map their home ranges,

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 ...
