| Abstract |
The lionfish Pterois miles (Bennett, 1828) is one of the most successful invasive aquatic species globally. Recently, few individuals have been reported from the East Mediterranean Sea. The potential distribution of the lionfish in the Mediterranean has been examined by using open access data from the GBIF, data from the new sites as well as environmental data from the BioOracle dataset. A maximum entropy model (MaxEnt) was developed based on these data, which was used to identify areas for the potential distribution of the species as well as to examine the factors that promote it. |
