Hunting for oceanic island Moho
S U M M A R Y The structure of the oceanic crust conforms in general to a very simple model. However, fine-scale variations of this structure in anomalous regions (such as beneath oceanic islands) remain poorly resolved. Here we examine teleseismic receiver functions (RFs) computed at four permanent broadband seismic stations on islands in the Pacific region. The RF method is ideal for examinin...
متن کاملGentle Africanized bees on an oceanic island
Oceanic islands have reduced resources and natural enemies and potentially affect life history traits of arriving organisms. Among the most spectacular invasions in the Western hemisphere is that of the Africanized honeybee. We hypothesized that in the oceanic island Puerto Rico, Africanized bees will exhibit differences from the mainland population such as for defensiveness and other linked tr...

متن کاملSpatial heterogeneity of mesopredator release within an oceanic island system.
Predator-prey communities are ubiquitous in ecology, but introduced predators can drive native species to extinction within island systems, prompting the eradication of such exotics. Ecological theory predicts that elimination of top-introduced predators from islands can lead to the counterintuitive decline of native prey populations through the ecological release of smaller introduced species ...
