The proposed telescope facility would be located within the western portion of the area known as the Northern Plateau. During construction, support activities would occur within the existing Batch Plant Staging Area and at a Construction Staging Area within or near the Hale Pōhaku Mid-Elevation Support Facilities. Sampling of the flora and arthropod fauna in the proposed use areas was conducted September 25 through October 8, 2008. A second visit occurred February 23 – 25, 2009 to evaluate options at the Hale Pōhaku Support Facility. A third visit occurred April 17 – 23, 2009 to sample for Wēkiu bugs in Area E, the Batch Plant Staging Area, and along the three options for the Access Way, and to sample for vegetation and arthropods at the Hale Pōhaku Support Facility. During the September 2008 sampling, forty-five live-traps were deployed in Area E, along the 4-wheel drive

JROESCHNE,RD SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 407 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

Endemic insect species make up the overwhelming majority of Hawaii’s native fauna, and play many important ecological roles. Despite this, insects receive low levels of conservation funding, likely due to their small size, fluctuating popula- tion sizes, and lack of baseline data necessary to determine if they are threatened with extinction. To determine which insects are at risk, how insect populations fluctuate in natural areas, and which management actions are most beneficial to Hawaiian ecosystems, we propose that insects be monitored whenever possible.

  • First Recorded Hawaiian Occurrence of the Alien Ground Beetle, Agonum Muelleri (Coleoptera: Carabidae), from the Summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii Island

H AmuelleriwAiiAn e,ntomol New S.tate Soc .R (2009)ecoRd 41:97–103 97 First Recorded Hawaiian Occurrence of the Alien Ground Beetle, Agonum muelleri (Coleoptera: Carabidae), from the Summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii Island J. K. Liebherr1, S. L. Montgomery2, R. A. Englund3, and G. A. Samuelson3 1Department of Entomology, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA; 2Montane Matters, 94-610 Palai St., Waipahu, HI 96797, USA; 3Hawaii Biological Survey, Bishop Museum, Honolulu, HI 96817, USA Abstract. Adults of the non-native species, Agonum muelleri (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Carabidae) were collected from the summit of Mauna Kea in 2006 and again dur- ing 2008, indicating that a population of this European species is established on Mauna Kea volcano, Hawaii island (NEW STATE RECORD). Agonum muelleri is a synanthropic species that has been accidentally introduced from Europe to both the east and west coasts of North America, with the known North American distribution including 24 provinces and states of Canada and the United States. Characters for the adults are provided to permit diagnosis of this non-native species from all other native and introduced carabid beetle species known from Hawaii. Recorded environmental conditions from Mauna Kea summit taken during the months when specimens were collected are consistent with conditions associated with winged flight by A. muelleri individuals in the species’ native European range. Hawaii is the geographically most isolated archipelago in the World, with approximately 250 insect colonists (Zimmerman 1948, Liebherr 2001) speciating to result in over 5,200 present-day native endemic insect species (Eldredge and Evenhuis 2003). Among these, the Nysius seed bug (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae) radiation includes two remarkable species known from the mature shield volcanoes Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa; N.

    Ecological networks of grassland plants and arthropods by Ellen A. R. Welti B.A., Kansas State University, 2012 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Division of Biology College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2017 Abstract Ecological communities are comprised both of species and their interactions. The importance of species interactions is embraced by ecological network analysis, a framework used to identify non-random patterns in species interactions, and the consequences of these patterns for maintaining species diversity. Here, I investigated environmental drivers of the structure of plant-pollinator and plant-herbivore networks. Specifically, I asked: (1) Do global-scale climate gradients shape mutualistic and antagonistic networks? (2) At a landscape scale (within a 3,487 ha research site), how do contrasting regimes of major grassland disturbances - fire frequency and grazing by bison (Bison bison) - shape plant-pollinator network structure? (3) How do fire and grazing affect plant-grasshopper network structure? And, (4) What is the role of plant species diversity in determining plant-herbivore network structure? At the global scale, variability in temperature was the key climatic factor regulating both antagonistic and mutualistic network structural properties. At the landscape scale, fire and grazing had major consequences for plant-pollinator and plant-herbivore communities. In particular, bison grazing increased network complexity and resistance to species loss for both plant-pollinator and plant-herbivore systems. Results from an experimental grassland restoration that manipulated plant diversity suggest that plant diversity directly affects plant-herbivore structure and increases network stability.

  • Current Changes in Alpine Ecosystems of Pacific Islands
    Current Changes in Alpine Ecosystems of Pacific Islands Abby G Frazier, East-West Center, Honolulu, HI, United States; University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, HI, United States Laura Brewington, East-West Center, Honolulu, HI, United States © 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Introduction 1 High Elevation Ecosystems in Pacific Islands 2 Geologic Setting 2 Climatology 2 Ecological Zones and Plant Communities 3 Cultural Significance and Human Impacts 5 Current Changes 6 Changes in Native and Invasive Species 6 Observed Climate Changes and Impacts 9 Future Projected Climate Changes 9 Concluding Remarks 10 References 10 Abstract Alpine ecosystems in the Pacific Islands are isolated and unique, characterized by high levels of endemism. Only Hawai‘i and New Zealand have elevations high enough to contain substantial alpine climates, and about 11% of the land area of both island groups is located above treeline. Both of these volcanically active archipelagos are characterized by complex topography, with peaks over 3700 m. These alpine ecosystems have significant cultural, social, and economic value; however, they are threatened by invasion of exotic species, climate change, and human impacts. Nonnative ungulates reduce native shrubland and grassland cover, and threaten populations of endangered birds. Exotic plants alter water yields and increase fire risk, and increased recreational visitation to these remote areas facilitates the introduction of exotic plant seeds, pests, and pathogens. Both New Zealand and Hawai‘i have experienced strong warming at higher elevations, and future projections indicate that these robust warming trends will continue. Glacial retreat has been noted in the Southern Alps, with 34% ice volume lost since 1977, and New Zealand may lose 88% of its ice volume by 2100.
