The Indo-Pacific lionfish (Pterois volitans and P. miles complex) has become widely established along the United States Southeast coast and continues to colonize the Caribbean.
“The Indo-Pacific lionfish (Pterois volitans and P. miles complex) has become widely established along the United States Southeast coast and continues to colonize the Caribbean, yet its biology and ecology is only beginning to be understood.”

Despite recent studies of potential impacts of lionfish to tropical reef communities in the Bahamas, impacts to warm-temperate hard bottom reefs of the Southeast US Atlantic Ocean remain unknown.
“Despite recent studies of potential impacts of lionfish to tropical reef communities in the Bahamas (Albins & Hixon 2008, Morris & Akins 2009, Cote & Maljkoviç 2010), impacts to warm-temperate hard bottom reefs of the Southeast US Atlantic Ocean remain unknown.”

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).”

Lionfish in the Bahamas prey mostly on fishes (78% by volume), including 41 species from 21 families.
“Bahamian studies documented lionfish at 5 to 177 times higher densities than in their native range (Grubich et al. 2009), capable of reducing reef fish recruitment by 79% from experimental patch reefs, and preying mostly on fishes (78% by volume), including 41 species from 21 families (Albins & Hixon 2008, Green & Cote 2009, Morris & Akins 2009).”

The Bahamian specimens examined by Morris and Akins (2009) were smaller on average (TL = 21.7 cm) than the North Carolina sample (TL = 28.4 to 30.9 cm, from 2006 and 2004).
“The specimens they examined were smaller on average (TL = 21.7 cm) than our North Carolina sample (TL = 28.4 to 30.9 cm, from 2006 and 2004) and this appears to have influenced the importance of prey as determined through dietary indices, because larger-bodied predators are typically capable of consuming larger-bodied prey (Unmack & Fagan 2004).”

The average prey/predator TL ratio was slightly higher off North Carolina (0.16-0.18 vs. 0.15 in the Bahamas), though the maximum prey/predator TL ratio was higher in the Bahamas (0.48 vs. 0.25-0.41 in North Carolina).
“In addition, the average prey/predator TL ratio was slightly higher off North Carolina (0.16-0.18 vs. 0.15 in the Bahamas), though the maximum prey/predator TL ratio was higher in the Bahamas (0.48 vs. 0.25-0.41 in North Carolina) (Albins & Hixon 2008, Morris & Akins 2009).”

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.
