TL;DR: The bait insecticides, hydramethylnon and abamectin, were very effective against the bigheaded ant, Pheidole megacephala (F.), and sticky bands were also effective as a barrier treatment against Argentine ants, but resulted in phytotoxicity to B. menziesii.

TL;DR: The impact of imported pollinators on the local biota has thus become a case study for the management and protection of native habitats, agriculture, and the overall impact on ecosystem services.
Abstract: As the most isolated land mass on Earth, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii represents an oasis for ecologists and biologists to study adaptation, and the evolutionary pathway of endemic an...

TL;DR: The results showed that genotype, auxin type, and auxin concentration significantly altered in vitro rooting of A. paraguariensis plantlets, and supplementation of nutrient medium with 0.2 mg L−1 IBA or IAA whenever rapid rooting is desired.

TL;DR: Kukui was an important element to indigenous Hawaiian agroforestry and retained some of its importance throughout Hawai'i's history as mentioned in this paper, however, kukui is declining, having lost an average of ∼58% of total canopy cover over the last 70 years.
Abstract: Kukui was an important element to indigenous Hawaiian agroforestry and retained some of its importance throughout Hawai‘i's history. We examine the historical ecology and trends of kukui, including a review of the ethnobotany. We use current and historical remote imagery to map kukui canopy on the five largest Hawaiian Islands. Kukui is still widespread through the state, being a significant component in many novel low-land forests. However, kukui is declining, having lost an average of ∼58% of total canopy cover over the last 70 years. Spatial trends suggest that kukui likely did not spread much following the large-scale shifts in Hawaiian socio-ecosystems that accompanied the arrival of colonial powers. We suggest that the footprint of kukui in Hawai‘i closely approximates the extent of indigenous agroforestry and forest alteration.
