Abundance and Diets of Rats in Two Native Hawaiian Forests!
Snap traps were set and monitored in two native Hawaiian rain forests on Maui, Hawai'i, to determine the relative abundances, distributions, and diets of rodents. Black rats (R. rattus), Polynesian rats (R. exulans), and mice (Mus musculus) were abundant throughout the mesic to wet forest habitat in both areas from 1600 to 2000 m elevation during both summer and winter trapping periods. Inverte...
متن کامل•oki'a Dieback and Protection Management of the Hawaiian Rain Forest
The facts about the ohia (Metrosideros polymorpha) rain forest dieback are put together in abbreviated form as far as they have been revealed over the past 12 years of intensive research in Hawaii. They lead to the conclusion that this native rain forest ecosystem is made up of an irregular and dynamic mosaic of ohia cohort stands occurring side by side. These are in different and similar life ...
متن کاملINVITED REVIEW Hawaiian angiosperm radiations of North American origin
†Background Putative phytogeographical links between America (especially North America) and the Hawaiian Islands have figured prominently in disagreement and debate about the origin of Pacific floras and the efficacy of long-distance (oversea) plant dispersal, given the obstacles to explaining such major disjunctions by vicariance. † Scope Review of past efforts, and of progress over the last 2...
متن کاملComparison of Per-Pixel and Object-Oriented Approaches for Mapping Plant Communities in Hawaii Using IKONOS Imagery
Background Alien or non-indigenous species are now considered a major element of global environmental change (Vitousek et al. 1996; Mack et al. 2000). Invasive species pose a significant threat to many ecosystems worldwide by their direct and indirect impacts to native species and by their effects on broader scale ecological patterns and processes (Cole and Landres 1996). Biological invasions h...
متن کاملDistributional Dynamics in the Hawaiian Vegetation!
Vegetation ecology is usually divided into two broad research areas, floristic/environmental gradient analysis and studies of vegetation dynamics. The early influential American ecologist Clements combined the two areas into a dynamic system for classifying vegetation. His succession and climax theory, however, was later severely criticized. A new approach to the study of distributional dynamic...
