2011 Japan Tsunami Created Hybrid Fish That Later Vanished

Original: The 2011 Japan Tsunami Created Hybrid Fish, But They Almost Completely Disappeared

New reporting revisits a striking biological legacy of the 2011 Tōhoku tsunami: the disaster appears to have brought together fish populations that then produced hybrids. Scientists found these hybrid fish in the aftermath, but they have almost completely disappeared in the years since, raising questions about how disaster-driven mixing shapes species over time.

Why now: Renewed coverage of research on the tsunami's unusual genetic legacy on fish populations is drawing attention.
