• Sit-and-wait predationBroader topic: Some species wait in darkness and lure prey within striking distance.

• Sexual size dimorphismBroader topic: Some species show extreme female-biased size dimorphism and permanent male attachment.

• FootballfishNarrower topic: Footballfish belong to this broader group, whose members use head-borne lures in varied ways.

• GoosefishNarrower topic: Goosefish belong to this broader group of lure-bearing fishes.

• HandfishNarrower topic: Handfish belong to this broader group, though their walking fins make them distinctive.
