Impact of Alien Slugs on Native Plant Seedlings in a Diverse Mesic Forest, O'ahu, Hawai'i, and a Study of Slug Plant Food PreferencesJoe, Stephanie Marie January 2006 (has links)
Introduced species have the potential to cause serious ecological disruption,
particularly on oceanic islands. When introduced species invade natural areas,
endemic species may be threatened, especially when the invasive species
represent guilds or functional groups that were previously lacking. Hawai‘i has no
native slugs, but over a dozen species are now established. Slugs are important
seedling predators in their native habitats, and in introduced habitats they can
cause major shifts in the abundance some plant species. In order to better
investigate slug impacts on native plants in Hawai‘i, I carried out research which
1. identified differences in the acceptability of five native plant species to five
alien slug species 2. assessed the effect of slug herbivory on the growth and
survival of three native and two alien plant species, and 3. measured changes in
seedling regeneration due to slug herbivory.
Results from feeding assays indicated a significant difference in palatability
among plant species, but no statistical difference in overall feeding preference
among slug species. Urera kaalae (Urticaceae) was found to be significantly
more palatable than the other four plant species and, thus, is predicted to be
more vulnerable to slug herbivory in the field.
I tracked the fate of planted seedlings and natural germinants from the seed bank
in both slug-excluded and slug-accessible plots in diverse mesic forest in the
Wai‘anae Mountains on the island of O‘ahu. Among seedlings that survived to
the end of the experiment, there was no significant difference between slug herbivory
treatments in growth index measurements. There was little germination
from the seed bank, with no statistical difference in total number of seedlings
between treatments. However, two of the three native species, Schidea obovata
(Caryophyllaceae) and Cyanea superba (Campanulaceae) had significant
reductions in survival of 49% and 53%, respectively, in the slug-exposed
treatment. Survival of two invasive species, Clidemia hirta (Meslastomataceae)
and Psidium cattleianum (Myrtaceae) was not significantly affected by slugs. This
study demonstrates that slugs may pose a serious threat to native plant species
by reducing their survival and thereby facilitate the success of certain invasive
species. / viii, 87 leaves / Thesis (M.S.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2006. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 78-87). / Also available via World Wide Web

Shoaling of Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii, in the period 1927 to 1976, based on bathymetric, sedimentological and geophysical studiesHollett, Kenneth J 05 1900 (has links)
A comparison of a 1976 bathymetric survey of Kaneohe
Bay, Oahu, Hawaii, with that of a 1927 survey indicates
that there has been an average shoaling of the lagoonal
area by 3.3 feet. Shoaling for the north and middle bay
at 1.4 ft/49 years is at a considerably lower rate than
for the south bay at 5.2 ft/49 years. Sedimentological
studies, based on dredging history and detailed chemical,
mineralogical and grain-size analyses of 251 bottom samples,
suggest that the total volume of fill into the bay during
the 49 year period is approximately 25,500,000 cubic yards.
Of this amount, approximately 63% is carbonate detritus
from the barrier, fringing, and patch reefs as well as
by the living corals, 11% is dredging spoils, and the
remaining 27% is attributed to terrigenous detritus. The
terrigenous fraction, contributed primarily by stream loading
and sheet-wash, brings approximately 69,300 tons of
sediment to the lagoon per year. Seismic reflection profiles,
which span the length of the bay and include additional lines in
the south bay, show that most of the infilling material is unconsolidated
sediment trapped between and burying coralline
structures built during ancient, lower stands of the sea.
All information suggests that shoaling rates within the bay
have increased since 1927 due to higher stream loads from
increased urbanization as well as to extensive dredging and disposal operations. This is particularly evident in
the area of the south bay. / Typescript. Thesis (M. S.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 1977. Bibliography: leaves 140-145.

Aspects of the age and growth, reproduction, and diet of the millet-seed butterflyfish, Chaetodon miliaris (Pisces: Chaetodontidae), an Hawaiian endemicRalston, Stephen 12 1900 (has links)
Aspects of the growth, reproduction and diet of Chaetodon
miliaris, the millet-seed butterflyfish, were studied in an effort to
characterize populations of fish exploited by the aquarium fish industry.
Age determinations were accomplished by examination of daily
growth rings within otoliths. Age estimates were corroborated by
growth experiments, analysis of a size-frequency distribution, and
the determination of the onset of reproductive maturity. Estimates
of the duration of the larval tholichthys stage were also obtained
from study of the otoliths.
The sex ratio of £. miliaris was 1:1 and individuals matured
after one year of growth. The spawning season extended from November
through Hay but peaked in February and March. No lunar influence on
spawning was found. Estimates of fecundity were high and indicated a
relatively large investment in reproduction.
Chaetodon miliaris is broadly opportunitistic in its diet, however it
feeds principally on zooplankton in the water column. The
diet of individual fish varied as a function of the time of year, the
collection location and the size of the fish.
Individuals from Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, were small and appeared to be
reproductively inactive when compared to fish from other areas.
Dietary deficiencies are postulated as causing these differences.
The overexploitation of populations of the millet-seed butterflyfish
as a fisheries resource is improbable due to its fast growth,
high fecundity, and the existence of refuge populations. / Thesis for the degree of Master of Science (University of Hawaii at Manoa). Typescript. Bibliography: leaves [93]-102.

Zooplankton Grazing in Kaneohe Bay, HawaiiSzyper, James Peter 05 1900 (has links)
Grazing rates of several abundant zooplankters in
Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii were measured at different concentrations
of natural phytoplankton. The concentration by
volume of suspended particles, as determined with an
electronic particle counter, was used as the estimate of
food concentration. The relationship between grazing rate
per animal and concentration of particulate food conformed
closely to a hyperbolic model widely used to describe an
organism's rate of uptake of food or other needed substrate
as a function of the concentration of the substrate.
Maximum observed grazing rates in the eutrophic south
sector of the bay are near the maximum rates predicted by
the model. The concentrations of particles in other areas
of Kaneohe Bay do not appear to be high enough to permit
grazing rates to approach their maximum levels. There
appears to be no preference by the grazers for particles
of a size other than the size most abundant in the
environment. / Typescript. Bibliography: leaves 23-26.
