Abstract excerpt
Hybridization is thought to be an important source of novel genetic variation, and interspecific hybridization may increase the adaptive potential of wild populations. While hybridization has not been previously reported in syngnathid fishes (seahorses and pipefish), the sympatric occurrence of closely related species at high densities increases the probability of interspecies mating in this group.
