Population Ecology of Invasive Lionfish (Pterois volitans/miles) in the South Atlantic Bight
… species are a top threat to global biodiversity. Lionfish (Pterois volitans/miles) are a marine invasive predator that are now established in the Western Atlantic, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Studies that have documented impacts of lionfish suggest they can reduce fish recruitment and native …

The role of sound and sociability in the success of invasive lionfish (Pterois spp.)
… and behaviour of two species of closely related lionfishes (Pterois volitans and P. miles, hereafter referred to as “lionfish”) in relation to sound as well as sociability. These two species are widely invasive in the Western Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea, where they …

Gut throughput rate and satiation of the invasive Lionfish (Pterois volitans) and its potential impact on an endemic, endangered Labrid fish Halichoeres socialis
The invasive Indo-Pacific Lionfish Pterois volitans has been recognized as a severe threat to indigenous fish species on Caribbean reefs. Previous studies have identified an extensive variety of Caribbean fishes in the stomachs of lionfish, but few have tried to quantify the impact these invaders …

Life History of the Non-Native Invasive Red Lionfish (<i>Pterois volitans</i>) in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
<p>Invasive Red Lionfish (<em>Pterois volitans</em>) were first detected in the northern Gulf of Mexico (nGOM) in 2010 and since then their numbers have increased dramatically. From 2010 to 2015, more than 15,000 Red Lionfish were collected opportunistically from the nGOM for this study. Length and …

Spatiotemporal population genomics of marine species : invasion, expansion, and connectivity
… expansions in two invasive marine species: the lionfish, Pterois volitans; and the shrimp, Palaemon macrodactylus. Using thousands of loci sequenced with restriction enzyme associated DNA sequencing in these two systems, this research tests theoretical predictions of the genomic signatures of …

Assessment and prediction of the potential threats of temperature change and invasive species to the sustainability of Northern Irish sea fisheries
… resource consumption in three predators. The red lionfish Pterois volitans (Linnaeus, 1758) is a successful and hugely damaging invader in the Western Atlantic and sources point to an ongoing Mediterranean invasion. Through a series of laboratory experiments I assessed how temperature, habitat …

Hotspots, Extinction Risk and Conservation Priorities of Greater Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico Marine Bony Shorefishes
… estuaries and coral reef) and invasive lionfish predation and half of the threatened or Near Threatened species are impacted by multiple threats. Data Deficient species are commonly known from only few records or when impact from a threat is suspected, but poorly understood. Species …

Incorporating local harvester knowledge to assess vulnerability in the aquarium trade
… as least vulnerable and two species, the zebra lionfish (Dendrochirus zebra) and palette surgeonfish (Paracanthurus hepatus), were categorized as moderately vulnerable. While the fish collected for the trade do not appear highly vulnerable, the aquarium fishers themselves seem to be. Aquarium …
