ABSTRACT In this viewpoint, we provide a scientific justification for statewide, standardized, coastal wetland monitoring program Hawaiʻi, USA. Hawaiian wetlands important habitat endangered waterbirds, invertebrates, plants, and the hoary bat (ʻōpeʻapeʻa; Lasiurus semotus ) as well support Indigenous food systems. Currently, numerous agencies groups in Hawaiʻi collect data on wetlands, but information is not typically shared methods are standardized. A with centralized database would allow...
In Hawai'i, as is the case globally, sea level rise threatens availability of suitable habitat for waterbirds and other coastal species. This study examines Hawaiian wetland agro-ecosystems (loʻi) social-ecological systems that may meet human needs while expanding nesting endangered waterbirds, if restored under an Indigenous Resource Management paradigm. We applied spatial analysis to project: (1) area existing waterbird likely lost by end century (2100); (2) potentially gained through...
Nest survival is influenced by where and when birds decide to breed. For ground-nesting species, nest-site characteristics, such as vegetation height proximity water, may impact the likelihood of nest flooding or depredation. Further, habitat thus survival, fluctuate across breeding season. The Hawaiian Stilt (‘Ae‘o; Himantopus mexicanus knudseni ) an endangered waterbird that nests in wetlands Islands. In this study, we used observational surveys cameras examine characteristics day nesting...
Invasive predator control is often critical to improving the nesting success of endangered birds, but methods vary in cost and effectiveness. Poison-baiting or trapping removal are relatively low-cost, may have secondary impacts on non-target species, not completely exclude mammals from areas. Mammal-exclusion fencing has a substantial up-front cost, due savings over lifetime structure complete exclusion mammalian predators, this option increasingly being utilized protect threatened species...
Writing Deaf:Textualizing Deaf Literature Kristen Harmon (bio) I begin with a question: What does it mean to transliterate American Sign Language (ASL) and the visual realities of life into creative texts written in English? This question is larger than necessities transliteration conventions print. If fiction writers or poets happen be Deaf—meaning that they consider themselves members community use ASL as their primary language—then must also how writing English (or other print languages)...
The Hawaiian Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni) and Gallinule (Gallinula galeata sandvicensis) are federally endangered waterbirds endemic to the Islands. Both species conservation-reliant; their population persistence is dependent on invasive predator control removal of plants that degrade habitat. We present observations successful nesting by one pair at a site managed within an adaptive Indigenous agroecological framework island O‘ahu, Hawai‘i. nest, found in February 2019, contained 4...
In Memoir Upon the Formation of a Deaf Variety Human Race (1883), Alexander Graham Bell proposed several preventative eugenic measures to reduce transmission deafness, including oralism, or pedagogical approach for exclusive teaching speech and lipreading, reduction deaf-deaf intermarriage. answer, writers in community publications made appeals autonomy embedded within hegemonic social norms related race, class, gender, able-bodiedness. Because marriage was often conflated with labor class...
Abstract While the impact of introduced predators is a widely acknowledged issue and key component conservation considerations for endemic waterbird populations in Hawaiian Islands, native on endemic, endangered waterbirds not as frequently discussed or factored into recovery models. The Pueo (Hawaiian Short‐eared Owl; Asio flammeus sandwichensis ) subspecies Owl to Islands State‐listed Endangered island O'ahu.

Abstract Translocations of chicks are increasingly being used in seabird restoration projects, along with social attraction adults using acoustic and visual cues, to establish new colonies or re‐establish extirpated colonies. Many species exhibit high rates natal philopatry, where most return the nesting from which they fledged. This makes them ideal candidates for translocation projects since have a likelihood returning sites if relocated prior imprinting on site. Starting 2017,...
Cooperative breeding, which is commonly characterized by nonbreeding individuals that assist others with reproduction, common in avian species. However, few accounts have been reported Charadriiformes, particularly island-nesting We present incidental observations of cooperative breeding behaviors the Hawaiian Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni), an endangered subspecies Black-necked mexicanus), during 2012-2020 nesting seasons on islands O'ahu and Moloka'i. describe two different are...
Many seabird populations are declining globally, but successful conservation efforts have led to population expansion of some species into human-dominated landscapes. Thus, there is an increased potential for direct human and interactions certain in human-occupied areas, with nest-site characteristics potentially affecting the susceptibility nests disturbance. We assessed effect activity on Wedge-tailed Shearwater (
The Least Tern (Sternula antillarum) commonly breeds along coastal beaches and major interior rivers of North America the Caribbean. Terns have been observed in Hawai‘i since 1970s; however, few breeding attempts documented. Nests discovered on northwestern Hawaiian island Midway Atoll southeastern Hawai‘i. While nesting is thought to also occur islands O‘ahu French Frigate Shoals based observations juvenile Terns, no nests had recorded for these prior this study. In paper we describe 2...
The Hawaiian Islands have a high rate of species endemism but also one the highest rates loss. Introduced predators been identified as major causes decline native bird populations (e.g., seabirds, waterbirds, and forest birds) in island ecosystems. control removal invasive is key component active management strategies for conservation recovery endangered across Archipelago. However, predation by on prey takes place must be factored into models species. Pueo (Hawaiian Short-eared Owl; Asio...
Abstract: The idea of a sign language town, or Deaf utopia, where and signing people can come together to live in geographical figurative homeland has long persisted US life, letters, literature. In the wake Milan Congress 1880, Alexander Graham Bell's alarming rhetoric concerning "a deaf mute variety human race" "campaign against language," homeland, commonwealth took on additional resonance. However, absence towns, utopian homelands then became an important possible alternative through...
