Rare hybrid Cyclophor flavissima XC Ebli.
Many vertebrates contain diverse populations of microbes including both external (e.g. skin, hair) and internal (e.g. gut, oral) communities. In vertebrates, gut microbial communities are now known to play an important role in facilitating the digestion of food, particularly in herbivores. Our research is focused on understanding the role of microbes in herbivorous fish guts in several fish including closely related and hybrid species in Christmas Island angelfish populations and the impact of tropicalisation on gut microbiomes of rabbitfish.
