Rapid forest carbon assessments of oceanic islands: a case study of the Hawaiian archipelago

Carbon Balance and Management, 2016
Background Spatially explicit forest carbon (C) monitoring aids conservation and climate change mitigation efforts, yet few approaches have been developed specifically for the highly heterogeneous landscapes of oceanic island chains that continue to ...

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.

Abundance estimates for management of endangered false killer whales in the main Hawaiian Islands [PDF]

Endangered Species Research, 2018
Effectively using the best available data to meet management mandates for endangered populations is a common conservation challenge. False killer whales Pseudorca crassidens occur as 3 distinct populations in Hawaiian waters, including a resident main ...

The Role of Geography, Diet, and Host Phylogeny on the Gut Microbiome in the Hawaiian Honeycreeper Radiation [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The animal gut microbiome can have a strong influence on the health, fitness, and behavior of its hosts. The composition of the gut microbial community can be influenced by factors such as diet, environment, and evolutionary history (phylosymbiosis ...

Population‐level impacts of natural and anthropogenic causes‐of‐death for Hawaiian monk seals in the main Hawaiian Islands [PDF]

Marine Mammal Science, 2020
AbstractIdentifying, assessing, and ranking the impact of individual threats is fundamental to the conservation and recovery of rare and endangered species. In this analysis, we quantify not only the frequency of specific causes‐of‐death (CODs) among Main Hawaiian Island (MHI) monk seals, but also assess the impact of individual CODs on the intrinsic ...

A complex evolutionary history in a remote archipelago: phylogeography and morphometrics of the Hawaiian endemic Ligia isopods. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Compared to the striking diversification and levels of endemism observed in many terrestrial groups within the Hawaiian Archipelago, marine invertebrates exhibit remarkably lower rates of endemism and diversification.
