• Coping with the Lionfish Invasion: Can Targeted Removals Yield Beneficial Effects? (2012, background): “Genetic analyses suggest that the lionfish invasion resulted from one introduction sited in Florida, rather than multiple, independent introductions at different locations (Betancur-R et al., 2011).”
• A lionfish (Pterois miles) invasion has begun in the Mediterranean Sea (2016, background): “A decade after either intentional or accidental aquarium release in Florida, P. volitans became fully established throughout the southeast United States and the Caribbean Sea, extending to South America and much of the Gulf of Mexico (Schofield et al. 2015).”
