Ke Ola Mua

Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Isabella Kauakea Yau Yung Aiona ma ka lā 20 Iune 1919 ma Hāna, Maui. He kānaka maoli kona makuahine, ʻo Annie Kaʻaikaula, a he Pākē kona makuakāne, ʻo Chan Yee Aiona.

I ka makahiki 1950, ua lilo ʻo ia i ka wahine mua i loaʻa ka Ph.D. ma ka Biology mai Berkeley.

Ke Ola ʻOihana

Ua hoʻomaka kāna ʻoihana aʻo ma ke Kulanui o Stanford ma ka makahiki 1960. Ma laila, ua lilo ʻo ia i ka wahine mua e lilo i polopeka ma ka māhele Biology. I loko o kona mau makahiki ma Stanford, ua kākau ʻo ia i kāna puke kaulana loa, Marine Algae of California, me George J. Hollenberg (1976), ka puke i lilo i kumu alakaʻi no nā hanauna o nā mea noiʻi limu.

Ma kēia kūlana, ua hui pū ʻo ia i ka ʻike kuʻuna Hawaiʻi me ka ʻepekema hou, e aʻo ana i nā haumāna i ke koʻikoʻi o ka limu i ka moʻomeheu Hawaiʻi a me kona waiwai ʻepekema.

Gracilaria abbottiana
Vanvoorstia abbottiae
Callophyllis abbottiana
Gibsmithia hawaiiensis
Dudresnaya hawaiiensis

Ma waho o ka ʻike ʻana i nā limu hou, ua hoʻomaopopo ʻo ia i ka waiwai o ka limu ma ka moʻomeheu Hawaiʻi. Ua noiʻi ʻo ia i nā ʻano hoʻohana kuʻuna o ka limu ma ke ʻano he meaʻai a me ka lāʻau lapaʻau. Ua hōʻike pū ʻo ia i ke koʻikoʻi o ka mālama ʻana i ka ʻike kuʻuna Hawaiʻi no ka limu a me ka pilina o ia ʻike i ka ʻepekema hou.

Ka Hana Noiʻi

Ua kālele kāna hana noiʻi i:

Ka taxonomy o nā limu o ka Moana Pākīpika
Ka ethnobotany o nā limu Hawaiʻi
Nā pilina ma waena o nā ʻano limu like ʻole
Ka hoʻohana ʻia ʻana o ka limu ma ka moʻomeheu Hawaiʻi
Ka mālama ʻana i nā limu o Hawaiʻi

Nā Hanana Koʻikoʻi

Ka wahine mua i loaʻa ka Ph.D. ma ka Biology mai UC Berkeley
Ka polopeka mua o ka moʻomeheu Hawaiʻi ma ke Kulanui o Hawaiʻi
Ua ʻike ʻo ia ma kahi o 200 mau ʻano limu hou
Ua kapa ʻia kekahi limu mamao i kona inoa: Abbottella
