Occurrence and Behavior of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins (Stenella longirostris) Along Oahu’s Leeward and South Shores

The spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) is a delphinid that occurs in both pelagic and coastal tropical and subtropical habitats worldwide. A model of the behavior and ecology of this species was described for a resident population along the Kona coast of the island of Hawaii by Norris et al. (1994). To assess the applicability and variability of this model in divergent coastal habitats, th...

Recent invasion of the tropical Atlantic by an Indo-Pacific coral reef fish.

The last tropical connection between Atlantic and Indian-Pacific habitats closed c. 2 million years ago (Ma), with the onset of cold-water upwelling off southwestern Africa. Yet comparative morphology indicates more recent connections in several taxa, including reef-associated gobies (genus Gnatholepis). Coalescence and phylogenetic analyses of mtDNA cytochrome b sequences demonstrate that Gnat...

Biological Invasion of Lionfish in the Atlantic

In recent years, close examination of biological invasions shows that ecosystems around the world are subjected to loss of biodiversity as a result of the interactions between native species and the invaders (Whitfield et al. 2007). These interactions may happen naturally due to biotic dispersal, but human travel and deliberate translocation of organisms worldwide have undoubtedly accelerated t...
