Figure 3. Activity patterns of invasive lionfish at dawn and midday on culled and unculled reef patches.

(A) Proportion of lionfish which were active, and (B) extent of concealment, as measured on a 3-point scale, with 3 being the most hidden (see Methods; Figure 1) on culled (open bars) and unculled (shaded bars) coral reef patches in Eleuthera, The Bahamas. The proportion of active lionfish was weighted by reef-specific proportion of total lionfish present in the analysis, but it is presented unweighted in (a) for clarity. Boxplots show medians (thick horizontal lines), first and third quartiles (boxes) and 95% confidence intervals (whiskers), along with outliers (points). n = 8 patch reefs in all cases.
