The lionfish (Pterois volitans) is a successful invasive predator with large impacts on native fish populations in the western Atlantic. Lionfish predation may affect competition between prey species so it is important to understand whether lionfish display preferences between prey species.

We examined the behavioral and physiological responses of wild
and hatchery-reared cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki subjected to
a single electroshock, electroshock plus marking, and multiple
electroshocking in natural and artificial streams. In a natural
stream, trout released after capture by electrofishing and marking
showed distinct behavioral changes: fish immediately sought...
I used program CAPTURE to analyze 1,535 data sets for 33 North American species of small mammals for sources of variation in capture probabilities and to characterize species-specific responses to markrecapture trapping. CAPTURE incorporates seven models to account for all possible combinations of heterogeneity (h), behavioral response (b), and time...
