Etymology: Mayaheros: Named for the native Mesoamerican Maya people whose ancestral distribution includes most of the native area of the M. urophthalmus group, very likely the ancestral area of the whole genus. The name is combined with the old cichlid genus name Heros (meaning hero), to be understood as the hero of the Maya people (Ref. 114771).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02630 (0.01891 - 0.03658), b=3.04 (2.95 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.9 ±0.57 se; based on food items.

Generation time: 6.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Mellan, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 1,4-4,4 år (K=0.16-0.20; tmax=7; Fec=2,085-6,615).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
