Genetic assignment of Amphilophus xiloaensis gold and normal colour morphs (Midas cichlid species complex) from Lake Xiloa, Nicaragua. Dots (black for normal, yellow for gold) represent the likelihood that a particular individual originates from a given colour morph sample. Overall, more than 80% of individuals were correctly assigned, based on microsatellite allele frequencies. These results suggest that colour morphs mate assortatively, consistent with observations of territorial pairs in the lake.
