Are there other examples that suggest natural hybrids of full species may be better adapted to survive than parent species, perhaps in new environments?  I am reminded of the remarkable breeding success of our hybrid honeyeater at Jerra wetlands.  No doubt many examples of hybrids bred for the purpose from subspecies, like hybrid salmon in Tasmania,  livestock (cattle in arid Australia).
