Lionfish have become widespread residents in the Southeast US Atlantic region.
“These hard bottom reefs are well recognized as essential fish habitats that support economically valuable commercial and sport fisheries and an increasingly popular sport diving industry (Struhsaker 1969, Parker & Ross 1986), and lionfish have become widespread residents in the region (Whitfield et al. 2007, Morris et al. 2009).”
From Diet of invasive lionfish on hard bottom reefs of the Southeast USA: insights from stomach contents and stable isotopes (2011) · cites this paper as Whitfield et al. 2007
Our copy contains a correction discussing lionfish abundance in surveyed areas and the head-boat fishery, but gives no geographic distribution or evidence that lionfish were widespread residents of the Southeast US Atlantic region. Searches for established populations and geographic range returned only that correction; the relevant distribution discussion may be missing from our copy. (LLM, conf=0.74)

“temperature is an important factor in controlling the distribution of lionfish within its introduced range, but minimum water temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico and throughout the Caribbean are above documented thermal limits (Kimball et al. 2004).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
