Zusammenfassung:Replying to Schliewen et alWe reported a case of sympatric speciation in the Nicaraguan Midas cichlid species complex. Schliewen et al. question the interpretation of aspects of our data, but their proposed alternative scenario of multiple colonization and hybridization is considerably less parsimonious, contains some inconsistencies, and is incompatible with the available evidence.
