where are they now? the fates of two genetic lineages in an introduced hawaiian reef fish.	humans, both wittingly and unwittingly, have been transporting marine organisms beyond their native ranges for centuries (ruiz et al. 1997). a central challenge of invasion biology is to identify the factors that determine whether introduced species fail to become established, become benign members of a community, or spread so far and reach such densities as to be considered invasive. organismal features such as physiological tolerance, niche breadth and fecundity are critical, but by themselves ...	2010	20456222
candidatus renichlamydia lutjani, a gram-negative bacterium in internal organs of blue-striped snapper lutjanus kasmira from hawaii.	the blue-striped snapper lutjanus kasmira (perciformes, lutjanidae) are cosmopolitan in the indo-pacific but were introduced into oahu, hawaii, usa, in the 1950s and have since colonized most of the archipelago. studies of microparasites in blue-striped snappers from hawaii revealed chlamydia-like organisms (clo) infecting the spleen and kidney, characterized by intracellular basophilic granular inclusions containing gram-negative and gimenez-positive bacteria similar in appearance to epithelioc ...	2012	22535875
length-based assessment of coral reef fish populations in the main and northwestern hawaiian islands.	the coral reef fish community of hawaii is composed of hundreds of species, supports a multimillion dollar fishing and tourism industry, and is of great cultural importance to the local population. however, a major stock assessment of hawaiian coral reef fish populations has not yet been conducted. here we used the robust indicator variable "average length in the exploited phase of the population ([formula: see text])", estimated from size composition data from commercial fisheries trip reports ...	2015	26267473
