Species key for individuals surveyed in studies conducted by M. Hixon, C. Benkwitt, and T. Kindinger in the Bahamas (Eleuthera), Bonaire, and the Cayman Islands between 2009 and 2015

Abstract:

This is a key of all species sampled in the project "Mechanisms and Consequences of Fish Biodiversity Loss on Atlantic Coral Reefs Caused by Invasive Pacific Lionfish." Species codes in each related dataset are represented as the first two letters of the genus and species. This key includes the scientific and common names for each of those codes.

Data Processing Description

DMO Notes:

-reformatted column names to comply with BCO-DMO standards
-replaced all blank cells with "nd"
-data version 2 (2018-06-07) replaces data version 1 (2016-08-22). Species list updated to incorporate all species used in this project across all datasets.
--- Species names checked with the World Register of Marine Species (WORMS,marinespecies.org) taxa match tool. After review by C. Benkwitt, misspellings and non-accepted species names updated to the accepted species names as of 2018-06-07.
--- Note that Paradiplogrammus bairdi (species code: PABA) was changed to accepted name Callionymus baird. Species code remains PABA instead of changing the code to CABA as PABA is used in several datasets.
--- Contributer added some Family or Genus sp. taxonomic names where no species name was available (e.g. PIPE,Syngnathidae,Pipefish)
