• Predatory fish invaders: Insights from Indo-Pacific lionfish in the western Atlantic and Caribbean (2013, background): “In the Atlantic, they exploit a wide range of native fishes and crustaceans (Albins and Hixon, 2008; Côté et al., 2013; Layman and Allgeier, 2012; Morris and Akins, 2009; Muñoz et al., 2011; Valdez-Moreno et al., 2012).”
• Distributions of Indo-Pacific lionfishes Pterois spp. in their native ranges : implications for the Atlantic invasion (2012, background): “Invasive lionfish have broad diets of small crustaceans and especially fishes (Morris & Akins 2009, Muñoz et al. 2011), and exhibit high kill rates (Côté & Maljković 2010).”
• Coping with the Lionfish Invasion: Can Targeted Removals Yield Beneficial Effects? (2012, background): “…of their body weight per day in fish and invertebrates, potentially leading to reduced abundances of native species and increased competition for food (Morris and Akins, 2009; Côté and Maljković, 2010; Barbour et al., 2010; Albins and Hixon, 2011; Muñoz et al., 2011; Layman and Allgeier, 2012).”
• Non-linear effects of invasive lionfish density on native coral-reef fish communities (2015, background): “Of particular concern is the fact that lionfish are voracious predators of a variety of coralreef fishes, including commercially and ecologically important species (Albins and Hixon 2008; Morris and Akins 2009; Muñoz et al. 2011; Cure et al. 2012; Côté et al. 2013).”
• Effectiveness of lionfish removal efforts in the Southern Caribbean (2013, background): “…Western Atlantic, various management agencies have proposed measures to reduce and/or control the local lionfish abundance to reduce their negative impact on native fish populations (Albins & Hixon 2008, Côté & Maljković 2010, Arias-González et al. 2011, Green et al. 2011, Muñoz et al. 2011).”
• Use of DNA metabarcoding for stomach content analysis in the invasive lionfish Pterois volitans in Puerto Rico (2016, methodology): “…has been a key component in many lionfish studies, resulting in our current understanding of site specificity in dietary preferences (Côté & Maljković 2010, Muñoz et al. 2011, Layman & Allgeier 2012) and overall diversity of diet (Albins & Hixon 2008, Morris & Akins 2009, Green et al. 2011).”
• Characterizing trophic ecology of generalist consumers: a case study of the invasive lionfish in The Bahamas (2012, background): “Lionfish are widely regarded as generalist predators with an extremely broad dietary niche (Morris & Akins 2009, Côté & Maljkovic 2010, Jud et al. 2011, Muñoz et al. 2011), perhaps one of the reasons they have been such successful invaders in the Caribbean region.”
