The study system. a-b Within the last 25,000 years Midas cichlids (Amphiliphus spp.; here Amphilophus amarillo from Lake Xiloá (a)) from Nicaragua (b) colonized several small crater lakes from the large lakes L. Nicaragua and L. Managua. Within the crater lakes, Midas cichlids underwent rapid and parallel adaptive evolution and formed several new species
