Since the Hawaiian Islands have never been con-
nected to other land masses, the great variety of plants
in Hawaii must be a result of the long-distance dispersal
of seeds, a process that requires both a method of trans-
port and an equivalence between the ecology of the
source area and that of the recipient area.
There is some dispute about the method of transport
involved. Some biologists argue that ocean and air cur-
rents are responsible for the transport of plant seeds
to Hawaii. Yet the results of flotation experiments and
the low temperatures of air currents cast doubt on these
hypotheses. More probable is bird transport, either
externally, by accidental attachment of the seeds to
feathers, or internally, by the swallowing of fruit and
subsequent excretion of the seeds. While it is likely that
fewer varieties of plant seeds have reached Hawaii exter-
