An illustrated identification key is provided to 17 species of Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripinae from Hawaii that are members of the Tribe Haplothripini, together with a further species that is similar in general appearance to members of that Tribe. Of these 18 species, 13 are considered introduced from other parts of the world, but five appear to be endemics. Known only from Hawaii, Haplothrips fi...

Much debate and subsequent confusion have recently been generated regarding the economic importance of the longline fisheries for tuna and swordfish in Hawaii. Depending on the methodology employed, the measures of the economic importance of these fisheries to Hawaii can vary significantly. This paper attempts to provide an assessment of the alternative measures and their implications for fishe...

There is little published information on "nearnatural" ecosystems and their restoration. Ecosystem restoration involves the setting of a date to indicate a restoration point (e.g., 1778 for the National Park Service in Hawaii) and presupposes some knowledge of ecosystem status at the target date and time. In Hawaii, knowledge of past conditions is usually precluded by the rapidity and magnitude...

Host-parasite relationships of Meloidogyne incognita acrita and Pratylenchus penetrans were compared on three closely related cultivars of tomato: 'Nemared', resistant to root-knot nematodes; 'Hawaii 7153', moderately resistant; and 'B-5', susceptible. Root-knot nematode larvae induced typical galls on the roots of B-5; larvae that entered Nemared were walled-off by necrotic cells; both reactio...

The present study used a collaborative framework to integrate 2 long-term prospective studies: the Terman Life Cycle Study and the Hawaii Personality and Health Longitudinal Study. Within a 5-factor personality-trait framework, teacher assessments of child personality were rationally and empirically aligned to establish similar factor structures across samples. Comparable items related to adult...

Subclass-specific antibody responses to the Norwalk virus capsid protein in adults challenged with Norwalk, Snow Mountain, or Hawaii virus were evaluated by solid-phase enzyme immunoassay using recombinant Norwalk virus capsid antigen (rNV). Fourfold or greater serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody responses to rNV were detected in 15 of 20 volunteers challenged with Norwalk virus, and serum Ig...

Resistance to spinosad insecticide in field populations of diamondback moth was discovered at Kunia, Hawaii, in November 2000, about two and a half years after its introduction. Leaf-dip assays of field populations from the islands of Oahu, Maui and Hawaii confirmed moderate to high levels of resistance compared with pre-introduction baselines. Resistance occurred despite label restrictions tha...
