Mitochondrial control region sequence analyses indicate dispersal from the US East Coast as the source of the invasive Indo-Pacific lionfish Pterois volitans in the Bahamas (2009, background): “By 2000, they had dispersed northward from Florida to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina and have now become established along the United States east coast (WhitWeld et al. 2002, 2007; Meister et al. 2005).”
Coping with the Lionfish Invasion: Can Targeted Removals Yield Beneficial Effects? (2012, background): “From 1985 to 2001, they spread up the Atlantic seaboard from Dania Beach, Florida (Semmens et al., 2004; Whitfield et al., 2007; Morris and Akins, 2009).”
Predatory fish invaders: Insights from Indo-Pacific lionfish in the western Atlantic and Caribbean (2013, background): “, 2002), where lionfish became as abundant as the commonest native grouper species by 2004 (Whitfield et al., 2007).”
Worst case scenario: potential long-term effects of invasive predatory lionfish (Pterois volitans) on Atlantic and Caribbean coral-reef communities (2011, background): “Lionfish densities at sites along the eastern seaboard of the United States exceed those of all but one species of native grouper (Whitfield et al. 2007).”
Assessing the ‘deep reef refugia’ hypothesis: focus on Caribbean reefs (2010, background): “) and the ahermatypic coral Tubastrea coccinea are recent examples of invasive species that have successfully radiated throughout the Caribbean (Fenner and Banks 2004; Whitfield et al. 2007; Green and Cote 2009).”
Invasive species, climate change and ecosystem-based adaptation : addressing multiple drivers of global change (2010, background): “Because of their venomous spines, lionfish have no predators in their invaded range and this helps their populations to continue spreading (Meister et al. 2004, Whitfield et al. 2007).”
