Invasive species, climate change and ecosystem-based adaptation : addressing multiple drivers of global change (2010, background): “There, lionfish populations are five times denser than in their native range which compounds their higher rates of consumption on reef fish, crustaceans, invertivores, herbivores, invertebrates and planktivores (Fishelson 1997, Green and Cote 2009, Morris and Akins 2009, Barbour et al. 2010).”

(2012, background): “…of their body weight per day in fish and invertebrates, potentially leading to reduced abundances of native species and increased competition for food (Morris and Akins, 2009; Côté and Maljković, 2010; Barbour et al., 2010; Albins and Hixon, 2011; Muñoz et al., 2011; Layman and Allgeier, 2012).”

Indo-Pacific lionfish are larger and more abundant on invaded reefs: a comparison of Kenyan and Bahamian lionfish populations (2011, background): “They have since become established around the Caribbean basin (Schofield 2009, 2010), inhabiting a range of habitats including coral reefs, seagrass meadows and mangroves (Barbour et al. 2010).”

Use of DNA metabarcoding for stomach content analysis in the invasive lionfish Pterois volitans in Puerto Rico (2016, methodology): “…2009, Alexander & Haynes 2011, Jud et al. 2011, Muñoz et al. 2011, Green et al. 2012, Frazer et al. 2012, Layman & Allgeier 2012, Green & Côté 2014), while the more accurate DNA barcoding approach has been less frequently used (Barbour et al. 2010, Valdez-Moreno et al. 2012, Côté et al. 2013).”
Worst case scenario: potential long-term effects of invasive predatory lionfish (Pterois volitans) on Atlantic and Caribbean coral-reef communities (2011, background): “) and mangroves (Barbour et al. 2010), as well as artificial structures, such as shipwrecks (authors, pers.”

Distributions of Indo-Pacific lionfishes Pterois spp. in their native ranges : implications for the Atlantic invasion (2012, background): “For example, lionfishes have already been observed in seagrass beds and nonestuarine mangroves in the Bahamas (Barbour et al. 2010).”
Site fidelity and movement patterns of invasive lionfish, Pterois spp., in a Florida estuary (2012, background): “While existing lionfish population models include parameters related to recruitment and early life history processes, they do not account for movement of individuals following recruitment (Barbour et al., 2010a; Morris et al., 2010).”
Characterizing trophic ecology of generalist consumers: a case study of the invasive lionfish in The Bahamas (2012, background): “For example, the invasive European periwinkle snail Littorina littorea, a generalist herbivore, structures littoral communities along the northeast coast of North America, affecting the function of both soft-sediment and salt marsh systems (Bertness 1984).”
Progression of invasive lionfish in seagrass, mangrove and reef habitats. (2012, background): “During 2005 and 2006, lionfish began to be found in new locations in the Bahamas, and, where documented, they were first observed in shallow habitats (Snyder & Burgess 2006, Albins & Hixon 2008, Smith & Sullivan Sealey 2008), but were absent from deeper sites (Lesser & Slattery 2011).”
Effectiveness of lionfish removal efforts in the Southern Caribbean (2013, background): “In the Caribbean, lionfish have established themselves in a variety of marine habitats, including coral reefs, mangroves, sea grass beds, coastal estuaries and deep waters up to 300 m (Barbour et al. 2010, Biggs & Olden 2011, Jud et al. 2011).”
