[1] Weekly satellite sea surface height (SSH) anomaly data are used to clarify the mesoscale eddy characteristics in the lee of the island of Hawaii, the largest island in the Hawaiian Island chain. The lee eddy variability can be separated into two geographical regions. In the immediate lee southwest of Hawaii (Region E), eddy signals have a predominant 60 day period and a short life‐span, whe...

The depauperate marine ecosystems of the Hawaiian Archipelago share a high proportion of species with the southern and western Pacific, indicating historical and/or ongoing connections across the large oceanic expanse separating Hawaii from its nearest neighbors. The rate and direction of these interactions are, however, unknown. While previous biogeographic studies have consistently described ...

The majority of isolates from tuberculosis patients in Hawaii arrive through the immigration of infected individuals from the western Pacific. We report here on the annotated complete genomes of two strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from the two main lineages/families in Hawaii, Beijing and Manila.

Rickettsia typhi (prevalence 1.9%) and R. felis (prevalence 24.8%) DNA were detected in rat fleas (Xenopsylla cheopis) collected from mice on Oahu Island, Hawaii. The low prevalence of R. typhi on Oahu suggests that R. felis may be a more common cause of rickettsiosis than R. typhi in Hawaii.
