This paper presents a new bio-economic simulation model for the Italian fisheries developed as a part of a project financed by The General Directorate for Fisheries and Aquaculture (under the Italian Ministry of Forestry and Agriculture Policies). The main objective of the model is to measure the effects of different...
Predatory lionfishes (Pterois volitans and P. miles) were introduced to Florida waters during the mid to late 1980s, and eventually established self-sustaining breeding populations in the tropical western Atlantic. These invasive species are now widespread along the southeastern seaboard of the United States, across the Caribbean Sea, and in the...

What makes invasive species successful, and how do they affect native populations and communities? I addressed these key questions in the context of the invasion of Atlantic coral reefs by Pacific red lionfish (Pterois volitans). To assess the role of parasites in contributing to the success of this invasion, I...
