Segregation of Species-Specific Male Attractiveness in F₂ Hybrid Lake Malawi Cichlid Fish

Figure 2

Spawning decisions of wild-type females spawning with hybrid males. The distribution of observed (open circles) and simulated (filled circles) spawning decisions of wild-type P. emmiltos and P. fainzilberi females spawning with four F₂ hybrid males in replicates 1, 2, and 3. The probability of finding the observed number of spawnings for each male was calculated using a binomial equation. (***indicates 𝑃<.001). The bars show the 5–95% confidence limits of the simulated spawning decisions.
