Worst case scenario: Potential long-term effects of invasive predatory lionfish (Pterois volitans) on Atlantic and Caribbean coral-reef communities

Creator:: Albins, Mark A. and Hixon, Mark A.
Abstract:: The Pacific red lionfish has recently invaded Western Atlantic and Caribbean coral reefs, and may become one of the most ecologically harmful marine fish introductions to date. Lionfish possess a broad suite of traits that makes them particularly successful invaders and strong negative interactors with native fauna, including defensive venomous...

Effects of invasive Pacific red lionfish Pterois volitans vs. a native predator on Bahamian coral-reef fish communities

Creator:: Albins, Mark A.
Abstract:: The recent irruption of Pacific red lionfish (Pterois volitans) on Caribbean and Atlantic coral reefs could prove to be one of the most damaging marine invasions to date. Invasive lionfish are reaching densities much higher than those reported from their native range, and they have a strong negative effect on...

Invasive red lionfish Pterois volitans blow directed jets of water at prey fish

Creator:: Albins, Mark A. and Lyons, Patrick J.
Abstract:: Field and laboratory observations of feeding by invasive Pacific red lionfish Pterois volitans were conducted during June through August of 2008, 2009 and 2010 near Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas. Observations of this invasive marine predator revealed a previously undocumented piscivorous behavior. While slowly approaching prey fish, lionfish produce jets of...

Bayesian parentage analysis with systematic accountability of genotyping error, missing data, and false matching

Creator:: Christie, Mark R., Tennessen, Jacob A., and Blouin, Michael S.
Abstract:: Motivation: The goal of any parentage analysis is to identify as many parent-offspring relationships as possible, while minimizing incorrect assignments. Existing methods can achieve these ends, but require additional information in the form of demographic data, thousands of markers, and/or estimates of genotyping error rates. For many non-model systems, it...

Using the functional response of a consumer to predict biotic resistance to invasive prey

Creator:: Twardochleb, Laura A., Novak, Mark, and Moore, Jonathan W.
Abstract:: Predators sometimes provide biotic resistance against invasions by nonnative prey. Understanding and predicting the strength of biotic resistance remains a key challenge in invasion biology. A predator's functional response to nonnative prey may predict whether a predator can provide biotic resistance against nonnative prey at different prey densities. Surprisingly, functional...

Patterns in benthic coral reef communities at Pearl and Hermes Atoll along a wave exposure gradient

Creator:: Page-Albins, Kimberly N., Vroom, Peter S., Hoeke, Ronald, Albins, Mark A., and Smith, Celia M.
Abstract:: This study compares percent cover of benthic organisms at the species level at Pearl and Hermes Atoll (PHA), the largest atoll in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, in order to determine 1) the degree of difference among sites, 2) whether wave exposure zones explain observed patterns in benthic community structure, and...

Community Responses to Climate-Related Variability and Disease: The Critical Importance of Long-Term Research

Creator:: Menge, Bruce A., Caselle, Jennifer E., Barth, John A., Blanchette, Carol A., Carr, Mark H., Chan, Francis, Gravem, Sarah, Gouhier, Tarik C., Lubchenco, Jane, McManus, Margaret A., Milligan, Kristen, Novak, Mark, Raimondi, Peter T., Washburn, Libe, and White, J. Wilson
Abstract:: A major goal of the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO) has been to understand the impacts of climate change and variability on the coastal ecosystems of the inner shelf of the California Current Large Marine System in particular, and other marine and even nonmarine systems more generally....

Comparative behavior of red lionfish Pterois volitans on native Pacific versus invaded Atlantic coral reefs

Creator:: Cure, Katherine, Benkwitt, Cassandra E., Kindinger, Tye L., Pickering, Emily A., Pusack, Timothy J., McIlwain, Jennifer L., and Hixon, Mark A.
Abstract:: Pacific red lionfish Pterois volitans have invaded Atlantic reefs and reached much greater population densities than on native reefs. We hypothesized that lionfish on invaded reefs would (1) experience higher kill rates and thus spend less time hunting, given the naïveté of Atlantic prey, (2) consume a greater variety of...

Planning for Change: Assessing the Potential Role of Marine Protected Areas and Fisheries Management Approaches for Resilience Management in a Changing Ocean

Creator:: Kroeker, Kristy J., Carr, Mark H., Raimondi, Peter T., Caselle, Jennifer E., Washburn, Libe, Palumbi, Stephen R., Barth, John A., Chan, Francis, Menge, Bruce A., Milligan, Kristen, Novak, Mark, and White, J. Wilson
Abstract:: Despite progressive policies and continued advances in ocean management, numerous shifts associated with global changes have been observed in marine ecosystems in recent years, including warming, ocean acidification, and deoxygenation. As global change accelerates, science is needed to inform evidence-based management strategies for continued ecosystem services. Resilience management, in which...

Density dependence and population regulation in marine fish: a large-scale, long-term field manipulation

Creator:: Hixon, Mark A., Anderson, Todd W., Buch, Kevin L., Johnson, Darren W., McLeod, J. Brock, and Stallings, Christopher D.
Abstract:: dependence and regulation of relatively large local populations? If so, what are the causative mechanisms and their implications? We conducted an eight-year multigeneration study of population dynamics of bicolor damselfish (Stegastes partitus) inhabiting four large coral reefs in the Bahamas. After a four-year baseline period, it was clear that two...
