Abstract:
Gobioidei is one of the largest suborders of teleost fishes, with nearly 2000 extant species currently recognized.
They have a worldwide distribution and show a spectacular variety in morphology, ecology, and
behavior. Despite their importance, phylogenetic relationships among many groups of gobioids (including
some of the major lineages) still remain poorly understood. In this study, we analyze sequence data of
five molecular markers (two mitochondrial and three nuclear) averaging 6000 bp for 222 species of gobioids.
Our study is the first to include both multiple nuclear and mitochondrial genes to reconstruct a comprehensive
multilocus phylogeny of gobioids encompassing most major lineages representing the overall
diversity of one of the most speciose vertebrate lineages. Two separate datasets are produced and used to
specifically address the phylogenetic placement of Rhyacichthyidae and Odontobutidae, and the phylogenetic
relationships among gobioid lineages. Our results strongly support that the initial split in the
gobioid tree separated a clade containing Rhyacichthyidae + Odontobutidae as the sister group of all
other lineages. The family Eleotrididae branches off the gobioid tree after the Rhyacichthyidae + Odontobutidae
clade, followed by the Butidae as sister group to the Gobiidae. Additionally, several major
monophyletic groups are confidently identified within the two major Gobiidae subclades, the gobiinelike
gobiids and the gobionelline-like gobiids. Robustness of the phylogenetic trees inferred here is significantly
higher than that of previous studies, hence our results provide the most compelling molecular
phylogenetic hypothesis of Gobioidei thus far. For the first time, we provide a comprehensive sampling of
European gobies that traditionally have been divided into ‘‘transverse’’ gobies and ‘‘sand gobies". We
show that the European gobies cluster in three distinct lineages, the Pomatoschistus-, Aphia-, and Gobius-
lineages. The former resolved within the gobionelline-like gobiids and the latter two within the gobiine-
like gobiids. These findings have significant implications for our understanding of the
phylogeographic origin of European gobies in the light of the closure of the Paratethys. A rogue taxon
analysis identified Kraemeria as an unstable taxon decreasing support at the base of the gobiine-like gobiids.
Removal of this rogue taxon significantly increased phylogenetic resolution in that part of the tree
and revealed additional insights into early bursts of cladogenesis of the gobiine-like gobiids.
