«The current recovery plan doesn't recognize that there are two distinct taxa
on the islands; therefore, monitoring of population size and habitat use that treats all Hawaiian
bats as a single
unit is likely providing measures that are overestimated and not accurate for either taxon.»
«Since 1990, surface ocean pH has directly been measured or calculated at several locations, with the average recent decrease estimated as 0.0019 pH
units per year at the Hawaii Ocean Time - series (HOT; close to the site of long - term atmospheric CO2 measurements at Mauna Loa)[12]; 0.0017 per year based
on transects in the North Pacific [13]; 0.0012 per year at the Bermuda Atlantic Time - Series (
BATS)[14] and 0.0017 per year at the European Station for Time - Series in the Ocean at the Canary Islands (ESTOC)[15].
