Island land snails’ extinction rates as high as 80% or more

The study found that extinction rates on high volcanic islands commonly range from 30% to as high as 80%.

The collections are being transferred to Hamilton Library for continued research and learning.

The study analyzed 30 years of data (1995—2024) and found that approximately 20% of all recorded bites occurred in October.

UH researchers identified the first-ever documented mating hub for tiger sharks in Olowalu, Maui.

New mouse models allowed scientists to directly track how the gene functions, building on earlier findings that linked its loss to infertility.

A new UH study found no scientific evidence that Indigenous people hunted waterbird species to extinction.

A new study reports adolescents with higher blood levels of PFAS chemicals face a greater risk of fatty liver disease.

The research highlighted how leading-edge synthetic biology and metabolic engineering are clearing the way for microalgae production locally.

The team developed a new Hawaiian name for the cookiecutter shark, nahunaiki, meaning “little bites.”
