Survival and physiologic response of common Amakihi and Japanese white-eyes during simulated translocation Survival and physiologic response of common Amakihi and Japanese white-eyes during simulated translocation
We evaluated the effects of three translocation trials on Common Amakihi (Hemignathus virens) and Japanese White-eyes (Zosterops japonicus). Trial 1 involved capturing birds, transporting them on rough roads for 4 hr followed by holding in an aviary for 48 hr without overnight thermal support prior to release. Trial 2 involved capture, then holding in an aviary for 48 hr with overnight...

Factors related to the recovery of subalpine woodland on Mauna Kea, Hawaii Factors related to the recovery of subalpine woodland on Mauna Kea, Hawaii
We measured mature tree and sapling density, tree associations, crown size, age structure, recovery from ungulate browsing, and grass cover at four study sites in two types of subalpine woodland on Mauna Kea volcano, island of Hawaii. Beginning in 1981, introduced ungulates were reduced in number to allow regeneration of Sophora chrysophylla (mamane) in habitat supporting the endangered...

Nonindigenous Ants at High Elevations on Mauna Kea, Hawai'i Nonindigenous Ants at High Elevations on Mauna Kea, Hawai'i
Ant surveys were conducted at high elevations (1680-3140 m) on the western slope of Mauna Kea Volcano on the island of Hawai'i to detennine the extent of ant infestation in those highland communities and particularly to evaluate the potential threat of ants in the highlands to native Hawaiian species. Ants were surveyed at 10 long-tenn sampling sites. Ants were common on Mauna Kea up to...

Status and management of the PaliIa, an endangered Hawaiian honeycreeper, 1987-1996 Status and management of the PaliIa, an endangered Hawaiian honeycreeper, 1987-1996
A single, relictual population of Palila Loxioides bailleui, a Hawaiian honeycreeper, survives on the slopes of Mauna Kea volcano on the island of Hawai'i, where it feeds principally on flowers and green seeds of the mamane tree Sophora chrysophylla. The Palila was listed as an endangered species by state and federal governments because of continuing damage to its habitat by browsing...

Sex and age identification of palila Sex and age identification of palila
Methods to sex and age Palila (Loxioides bailleui), an endangered Hawaiian finch restricted to subalpine woodlands on Hawai'i, were identified on the basis of measurements and plumage characteristics of 17 museum specimens and 96 known-age, live Palila. Palila undergo a single annual molt during September-December following the breeding season. Presence of a complete or partial wingbar

Eggs, nests, and nesting behavior of akiapolaau (Drepanidinae) Eggs, nests, and nesting behavior of akiapolaau (Drepanidinae)
We describe the fifth verified nest and first verified egg of the Akiapolaau (Hemignathus munroi), an endangered Hawaiian honeycreeper. We dispute the validity of Bryan?s (1905a) description of three eggs and two nests of the Akiapolaau. Eggs that he attributed to this species were much smaller than ours, and his nest descriptions did not match the only nest apparently belonging to the...
