Summary:
This book is a synthesis of the methods and results of 36 investigators who used a team approach to study selected island ecosystems in Hawaii. The research was initiated in September 1970 under the auspices of the International Biological Program (IBP) as one of the U.S. Environmental Component studies. In that component, the Hawaii IBP represented one of three subprograms of the Origin and Structure of Ecosystems Program and was known as the Island Ecosystems Stability and Evolution Subprogram. The subprogram was financed almost entirely by the National Science Foundation. At the time of writing, the Hawaii Island Ecosystems Subprogram had been in progress for a period of four years. Progress was reported in a series of technical reports that began in December 1970 yielded more than 50 individual reports. These are now permanently available on microfiche. Throughout this synthesis volume, reference is made to individual technical reports. These are cited as TR (Technical Report) numbers in place of author names and dates. A list of the running numbers and topics of technical reports is appended to this volume, a draft manuscript of Part I - Introductory Survey. Further parts to follow are: Part II - Spatial Distribution of Island Biota; Part III -Temporal Relationships of Island Biota; Part IV - Community Structure and Niche Differentiation; Part V - Genetic variation within Island Species; Part VI - General Conclusions.
