Submesoscale‐Permitting Physical/Biogeochemical Future Projections for the Main Hawaiian Islands by T. Friedrich, B. S. Powell, J. L. Gunnarson, G. Liu, S. F. Giardina, M. F. Stuecker, L. Hošeková, K. Feloy, C. A. Stock

“…We developed a regional submesoscale‐permitting physical/biogeochemical model to dynamically downscale the output of a CMIP6 Earth System Model for three different Socioeconomic Pathways for the main Hawaiian Islands. We describe the methodology for downscaling the CMIP6 ocean physics and biogeochemistry along with atmospheric conditions in order to offline nest a regional model. …”

Description of a novel Ligia species from Nihoa, a remote island in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument by Carlos A. Santamaria, Annabelle Bork, Alexandra J. Larson, Daniel J. Link

“…These findings, coupled with the poor dispersal capabilities exhibited by Ligia isopods and the geology of the Hawaiian Islands, suggest that additional cryptic species may exist in highly isolated populations yet to be studied. …”

Arthropod diversity in Iran: Class Diplopoda Blainville in Gervais, 1844 by Sergei I. Golovatch

“…The fauna can generally be considered as Caucasian, part of the eastern Mediterranean realm, vs Chiraziulus that clearly represents a very ancient and relict group (suborder Cambalidea) presently occurring in the Nearctic (together with the Hawaiian Islands, Pacific Ocean) in the New World, but rather Oriental, both tropical and subtropical, in Indo-Australasia (together with the Mascarene Islands, Indian Ocean).…”

Shifting sands: The influence of coral reefs on shoreline erosion from short-term storm protection to long-term disequilibrium by Stephan A Bitterwolf, Borja G Reguero, Curt D Storlazzi, Michael W Beck

“…Our analyses leveraged two key datasets created in this study: the first derived from a literature review on short-term shoreline erosion due to storm events, and another compiling >80 years of long-term erosion rates, bathymetry, habitat, and wave energy for the Hawaiian Islands of Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, and Maui. Our analyses reveal three key findings regarding the effects of reefs on shoreline erosion. …”

Better educational signage could reduce disturbance of resting dolphins. by Roarke E Donnelly, Alex Prots, Christl A Donnelly

“…Because more frequent interactions of people with these dolphins is likely to reduce rest for dolphins and to explain recent decline in dolphin abundance, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) proposed stricter rules regarding interactions with spinner dolphins near the main Hawaiian Islands and plans to increase enforcement. Simultaneous investment in public education about both interaction rules and their biological rationale has been and is likely to be relatively low. …”
