	2000 Progress Report - NESTING SUCCESS OF A HAWAIIAN HONEYCREEPER ALONG AN ALTITUDINAL GRADIENT OF CULICINE MOSQUITOES. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		I proposed the hypothesis that reduced nesting success from greater exposure to avian-malaria vectors is a factor in reduced low-elevation Hawaiian honeycreeper populations.
		No reports of nesting success of a Hawaiian honeycreeper or other Hawaiian bird along the altitudinal gradient of C. quinquefasciatus mosquitoes are available.
		This work provides valuable new information on relationships between introduced disease vectors and nesting success of an endemic Hawaiian honeycreeper as well as on the importance of nesting success as a limiting factor of low-elevation populations.

		Not everyone agrees with the strategy, believing that the birds - members of the Hawaiian honeycreeper family - should be allowed to enjoy their lives freely in their preferred habitat and die naturally.
		One problem has been that po'ouli are among the most difficult of Hawaiian forest birds to spot, both because of their muted coloring of brownish backs, pale bellies and a fl head, and because they are relatively quiet.
		In common with many other native Hawaiian birds it is thought that habitat loss and degradation (often by invasive feral pigs), and the rapid spread of introduced mosquitoes carrying diseases such as avian malaria (to which native birds have little resistance), contributed to the species' massive decline.

	Domestic Cat Predation in Hawaii
		Hawaii's unique native birds and other animals are threatened by destruction of habitat for farming and human development, invasion of alien plant species, disease spread by introduced mosquitoes, predation by introduced rats, mongoose, and domestic cats, and habitat degradation by feral pigs, goats, sheep, and cattle.
		Cats were probably introduced to the Hawaiian islands in the late 1700's, and now feral and free-roaming cats are a significant problem, even in higher elevations far away from human development.
		For example, the federally endangered Palila, a Hawaiian honeycreeper, is threatened by feral cats in their protected, but limited habitat of mamane and mamane-naio forest on Mauna Kea.

		Previously found only on the remote island of Laysan in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, this species is one of only two endemic -- "found nowhere else" -- ducks still found in Hawaii, the other being the Hawaiian duck or koloa (Anas wyvilliana).
		The Laysan duck was believed to be endemic to Laysan Island (it was found historically on neighboring Lisianski Island, but was extirpated in the early 20th century), but in 1995 evidence from bones revealed that the duck once inhabited the islands of Hawaii, Molokai, Maui, Oahu, and Kauai.
		The Laysan duck was also hunted for sport and for food, but it was the devegetation caused by the rabbits that drove the duck close to extinction.
