Angelfish Hybrids Genetic Tree (IMAGE)
Caption
Advances in molecular techniques have made hybrid identification much easier, though identification of unilateral maternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA. The squiggly hybrid of Paracentropyge venusta x P. multifasciata here has maternal ancestry from P. multifasciata. This remarkable hybrid is known from few museum specimens, with the Australian Museum Research Institute housing two species (AMS I. 48937¬-001 and AMS I. 48938-001).
