Chapter 55.1, Problem 3R

Summary Introduction

To review:

Whether the interactions between lionfishes and their fish prey in the Atlantic Ocean resulted in any evolutionary change.

Introduction:

The coral reef is invaded by the two species of beautiful but highly destructive lionfishes. Lionfishes are the aquarium fishes and are increasing at a very high number. The increase in number has led to the decline of the native fishes of that ocean. They are so efficient in predating as they are capable of tolerating a variety of tropical and subtropical temperatures and salinities.
