Predatory fish invaders: Insights from Indo-Pacific lionfish in the western Atlantic and Caribbean (2013, background): “, 2012), the slow, hovering hunting style employed by lionfish (Côté and Maljković, 2010; Green et al., 2011) and one of their prey capture techniques, which consists of blowing jets of water at prey (Albins and Lyons, 2012), are unique among Atlantic fishes.”
Use of DNA metabarcoding for stomach content analysis in the invasive lionfish Pterois volitans in Puerto Rico (2016, background): “Estuar Coast Shelf Sci 76: 378−394 Albins MA, Hixon MA (2008) Invasive Indo-Pacific lionfish Pterois volitans reduce recruitment of Atlantic coral-reef fishes.

Characterizing trophic ecology of generalist consumers: a case study of the invasive lionfish in The Bahamas (2012, background): “These are among the most common species in back reef habitats of The Bahamas, and may feed on similar prey taxa as lionfish (Layman et al. 2007b, Valentine-Rose et al. 2007, Hammerschlag-Peyer & Layman 2010).”
Coping with the Lionfish Invasion: Can Targeted Removals Yield Beneficial Effects? (2012, background): “Such surveys should yield reliable estimates of relative densities, because lionfish are easy to identify, active during the hours just before dusk, and not prone to being attracted to or repelled by divers (Brock, 1954; Sale and Douglas, 1981; McCormick and Choat, 1987; Green et al., 2011).”
Site fidelity and movement patterns of invasive lionfish, Pterois spp., in a Florida estuary (2012, background): “Several shortterm foraging studies (Albins and Hixon, 2008; Côté and Maljković, 2010; Green et al., 2011) have inferred that lionfish do not typically undertake large movements during or between foraging bouts.”
Diet richness of invasive Indo-Pacific lionfish revealed by DNA barcoding (2013, background): “…higher densities and larger sizes than in their native range (Darling et al. 2011), hunt using a prey-herding strategy unlike that of any Atlantic predator (Côté & Maljković 2010, Green et al. 2011), ingest whole prey that can be half their own body size (S. J. Green & J. L. Akins pers. obs.)”
Non-linear effects of invasive lionfish density on native coral-reef fish communities (2015, background): “Lionfish are unlike other predators in both their appearance and hunting behavior (Allen and Eschmeyer 1973; Albins and Lyons 2012; Green et al. 2011; Cure et al. 2012), and consequently consume native prey fish at extremely high rates (Albins and Hixon 2008; Côté and Maljivoic 2010; Green et al.…”
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).”

Comparative behavior of red lionfish Pterois volitans on native Pacific versus invaded Atlantic coral reefs. (2012, background): “Hunting activity was obvious as lionfish focused on particular prey with fully flared pectoral fins (Green et al. 2011).”
