Interview with Prof. Jayson Chun (History)
No full textThis interview, conducted by students in Professor Kim Compoc’s Fall 2024 Humanities 300 course at the University of Hawaiʻi – West Oʻahu, features Professor Jayson Chun, a historian specializing in East Asian media, Japanese and Korean popular culture, and modern Asian-American history. Professor Chun discusses the concept of "Pop Pacific," a framework for understanding how Hawaiian, Japanese, and Korean popular cultures interact in a transnational context. He explores themes of cultural hybridity, historical influences of U.S. military presence in Asia, the impact of globalization on cultural identity, and the future of indigenous cultural representation in media
Distribution and trends of endemic Hawaiian waterbirds, 1986–2023
Get PDFThis study updates the status assessment of four endemic endangered Hawaiian waterbird species—ae‘o (Hawaiian stilt, Himantopus mexicanus knudseni), ‘alae ke‘oke‘o (Hawaiian coot, Fulica alai), ‘alae ‘ula (Hawaiian gallinule, Gallinula galeata sandvicensis), and koloa maoli (Hawaiian duck, Anas wyvilliana)—from 1986 to 2016 by incorporating new data from 2017–2023. State-space models, which account for biological and sampling variation, were fitted to estimate population sizes and trends from both core and non-core wetland survey sites. Long-term trends (1986–2023) largely show increasing populations for all four species, but recent short-term trajectories (2013–2023) are to a greater degree than previous analyses, predominantly negative, indicating accentuated declines in some island populations. Summer counts have declined relative to winter counts over the 38-year period, indicating potential changes in habitat availability and breeding patterns due to shifting rainfall patterns. Although negative trends were apparent in some non-core wetlands, our study underscores the importance of both core and non-core wetlands for waterbird populations
