This review revisits the traits thought to have contributed to the success of Indo‐Pacific
lionfish Pterois sp. as an invader in the western Atlantic Ocean and the worst‐case scenario …

Tropical marine ecosystems are biologically diverse and economically invaluable. However,
they are severely threatened from impacts associated with climate change coupled with …

Extreme weather events (EWEs; for example, heatwaves, cold spells, storms, floods and
droughts) and non-native species invasions are two major threats to global biodiversity and …

Abstract “If you can't beat 'em, eat 'em”: the development of commercial markets is an
emerging strategy to control invasive species. This strategy may have fewer unintended …

Abstract Invasive Indo-Pacific lionfish Pterois volitans/miles have become well-established
in many western Atlantic marine habitats and regions. However, high densities and low …

While biological invasions have the potential for large negative impacts on local
communities and ecological interactions, increasing evidence suggests that species once …

Invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans and P. miles) are now ubiquitous throughout the
Caribbean and Western Atlantic on shallow and deep reefs. Recent surveys in Bermuda …

Implementing new and effective control strategies to reduce populations of invasive species
is needed to offset their negative impacts worldwide. The spread of Indo-Pacific lionfish …

Invasive red lionfish (Pterois volitans) have spread rapidly throughout the northern Gulf of
Mexico (GOM) partly because of their high growth rate. Red lionfish were collected from the …

Absent natural population control, invasive red lionfish Pterois volitans (hereafter, lionfish)
have reached record densities in the northern Gulf of Mexico (nGOM), though the role of …
