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).”
A lionfish (Pterois miles) invasion has begun in the Mediterranean Sea (2016, background): “Their dramatic invasive success results from a combination of factors such as early maturation and reproduction, anti-predatory venomous defences and ecological versatility of the lionfish coupled with naïve prey and the overfishing of native predators (Côté et al. 2013a).”
Non-linear effects of invasive lionfish density on native coral-reef fish communities (2015, background): “Throughout the Bahamas, gobies, damselfishes, and blennies comprise a large part of the prey species found in lionfish stomach contents (Albins and Hixon 2008; Morris and Akins 2009; Côté et al. 2013).”
DNA metabarcoding in diet studies: Unveiling ecological aspects in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems (2019, background): “…2004; Schwarz et al., 2018; Thomas et al., 2016; Tverin et al., 2019), or on the impacts of two invasive species, the lionfish on Caribbean coral reef ecosystems (Côté et al., 2013; Harms‐Tuohy et al., 2016; Valdez‐Moreno et al., 2012) and the catfish in Chesapeake Bay, USA (Aguilar et al., 2017).”
Use of DNA metabarcoding for stomach content analysis in the invasive lionfish Pterois volitans in Puerto Rico (2016, methodology): “…Bahamas reported up to 41 fish species (Albins & Hixon 2008, Morris & Akins 2009), while DNA barcoding of 157 lionfish gut contents in the Mexican Caribbean (Valdez-Moreno et al. 2012), and 130 lionfish gut contents from the Bahamas (Côté et al. 2013), reported 31 and 37 fish species, respectively.”
