Hybridisation among coral reef fishes at Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands

Hybridisation is common among terrestrial and freshwater species, but is considered rare and insignificant in marine systems. Christmas and Cocos (Keeling) Islands represent a recently discovered marine suture zone that contains a high number of hybridising coral reef fishes. In this study we docume...
