• Benthos distribution modelling and its relevance for marine ecosystem management (2015, background): “It can however still provide valuable information about the ecological niche of the non-indigenous species and hence its possible future spatial extent (Verween et al., 2007; Azzurro et al., 2013; Jones et al., 2013; Neumann et al., 2013).”
• The Presence of the invasive Lionfish Pterois miles in the Mediterranean Sea (2013, background): “Notably, F. commersonii has invaded the Mediterranean Sea within the last decade and established large populations in the eastern part (reviewed by Azzurro et al. , 2012) and may act as a biological control of a future possible invasion.”
• A lionfish (Pterois miles) invasion has begun in the Mediterranean Sea (2016, background): “The bluespotted cornetfish Fistularia commersonii colo-nised almost the entire Mediterranean in just 7 years (Azzurro et al. 2012) where it now poses a threat to local ecosystems since it feeds on a large variety of prey (41 taxa) and specialises on juveniles of the commercial fish Boops boops and…”

Introduction trends and pathways (2012, background): “…such as Lagocephalus sceleratus and Fistularia commersonii , are showing an unprecedented invasive character in terms of both abundances and geographical expansion, reaching rates of spread of approximately 1,000–1,500 km year -1 in the case of Fistularia commersonii (Azzurro et al. , 2012).”
