The Phenology of Plants in the Humid Tropics
Wycherley, P.R.
The 'storm' stimulus (fast-falling temperature and/or breaking of water stress) stimulates anthesis in representatives of several families of flowering plants.
The flowering of evergreen forest trees (e.g. Dipterocarpaceae) at irregular intervals is attributed to preceding periods with large diurnal temperature ranges and high maximum temperatures indicating high insolation (which is probably the main inductive factor, because of consequent biochemical conditions associated with accumulation of assimilates and high carbohydrate status). Such flowering is thus not attributed to drought.
Flowering in many deciduous trees follows leaf-fall and/or new leaf appearance. Floral initiation may occur during a period when the tree bears only senescent leaves. Leaf abscission, and thus subsequent emergence of new leaves and flowers, appears to be a response to drought. Susceptibility to dry periods in particular seasons, more than in others, may be due to lack of response by new leaves not yet 'hardened' which results in an insensitive period, followed by a phase in which senescence is accelerated by photoperiodic conditions. In this last phase the foliage is sensitized.

The Pristipomoides (Pisces: Lutjanidae) of Guam with Notes on Their Biology
Kami, H.T.
Close affinities are found between P. auricilla and P. sieboldii and between P. filamentosus and P. flavipinnis. Sexual dichromatism of P. auricilla and P. filamentosus is described. P. sieboldii and P. flavipinnis displayed no sexual dichromatism.
Limited information on the feeding habits of these snappers indicates that pelagic tunicates are important food items.
Differences in number between the males and females taken of P. auricilla and P. filamentosus were significant, but P. sieboldii and P. flavipinnis showed no such differences.

Reproductive and Larval Biology of Acanthaster planci (L.) in Great Barrier Reef Waters
Lucas, J.S.
Mean oocyte diameter and abundance of spermatozoa varied with gonad index. Oogenesis was very rapid in November and December, and ovaries contained a single mode of mature oocytes in December. Oocytes and spermatozoa were shed during the short breeding season in mid-summer when water temperature was about 28°C and optimal for larval survival. There was no evidence of shedding at any other time, although at least a small proportion of starfish in all samples had some mature gametes.
Larvae were reared from hatching at five temperatures-24, 26, 28, 30, and 32°C, and at three salinities-30, 32.5, and 35%. Survival at day 8 was highest in the lowest salinity and at the medial temperature, 28°C. No larvae developed to brachiolaria at 24 or 32°C. Larval development and metamorphosis were completed at 28°C in a minimum of 17 days. Development was completed at 26%, but not at 22% salinity. Larval temperature requirements may limit the southern distribution of A . planci and the salinity responses of larvae will be important in northern Great Barrier Reef waters.
