Both had been previously classified in the family Eleotrididae. The Thalasseleotrididae is demonstrably monophyletic on the basis of a single synapomorphy: membrane connecting the hyoid arch to ceratobranchial 1 broad, extending most of the length of ceratobranchial 1 (= first gill slit restricted or closed). The family represents the sister group of a newly diagnosed Gobiidae on the basis of five synapo- morphies: interhyal with cup-shaped lateral structure for articulation with preopercle; laterally directed posterior process on the posterior ceratohyal supporting the interhyal; pharyngobranchial 4 absent; dorsal postcleithrum absent; urohyal without ventral shelf. The Gobiidae is defined by three synapomorphies: five branchiostegal rays; expanded and medially- placed ventral process on ceratobranchial 5; dorsal hemitrich of pelvic-fin rays with complex proximal head.

Frank L. Pezold, PhD Chris Bird, PhD Chair Committee Member Kevin W. Conway, PhD James D. Hogan, PhD Committee Member Committee Member Lea-Der Chen, PhD Graduate Faculty Representative December 2014 ABSTRACT The family of fishes commonly known as gobies (Teleostei: Gobiidae) is one of the most diverse lineages of vertebrates in the world. With more than 1700 species of gobies spread among more than 200 genera, gobies are the most species-rich family of marine fishes. Gobies can be found in nearly every aquatic habitat on earth, and are often the most diverse and numerically abundant fishes in tropical and subtropical habitats, especially coral reefs. Their remarkable taxonomic, morphological and ecological diversity make them an ideal model group for studying the processes driving taxonomic and phenotypic diversification in aquatic vertebrates. Unfortunately the phylogenetic relationships of many groups of gobies are poorly resolved, obscuring our understanding of the evolution of their ecological diversity. This dissertation is a multi-scale phylogenetic study that aims to clarify phylogenetic relationships across the Gobiidae and demonstrate the utility of this family for studies of macroevolution and speciation at multiple evolutionary timescales.

Life-History Characteristics of Coral Reef Gobies. II. Mortality Rate, Mating System and Timing of Maturation
MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 290: 223–237, 2005 Published April 13 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Life-history characteristics of coral reef gobies. II. Mortality rate, mating system and timing of maturation V. Hernaman1, 3,*, P. L. Munday2 1Department of Marine Science, University of Otago, PO Box 56, Dunedin, New Zealand 2School of Marine Biology and Aquaculture, James Cook University, Townsville, Queensland, Australia 3Present address: School of Biological Sciences, Victoria University, PO Box 600, Wellington, New Zealand ABSTRACT: High adult mortality rate is expected to select for early maturation. However, physiolog- ical constraints or size-related reproductive benefits might select for delayed maturation, especially in small-bodied species. Additionally, the mating system and the relative intensity of mate competi- tion can modify the timing of maturation. Here, we investigate the influence of mortality rate and mating system on the timing of maturation in 5 species of small coral reef goby that are either poly- gynous (Asterropteryx semipunctatus and Istigobius goldmanni) or monogamous pair-spawners (Amblygobius bynoensis, Amblygobius phalaena and Valenciennea muralis). All 5 species experi- enced high annual adult mortality rates with annual survivorship of ≤2.3%. The mean size at matu- rity, compared to maximum adult size, was smaller than is typical for fishes, indicating selection for early maturity in all of these species. The season of growth had little effect on size at maturity, but had a considerable effect on age at maturity, with summer-growing individuals exhibiting a younger mean age at maturity than winter-growing individuals. As predicted, males of the 3 monogamous pair-spawning species matured earlier and smaller than females (A.

Annotated Checklist of the Fish Species (Pisces) of La Réunion, Including a Red List of Threatened and Declining Species
Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde A, Neue Serie 2: 1–168; Stuttgart, 30.IV.2009. 1 Annotated checklist of the fish species (Pisces) of La Réunion, including a Red List of threatened and declining species RONALD FR ICKE , THIE rr Y MULOCHAU , PA tr ICK DU R VILLE , PASCALE CHABANE T , Emm ANUEL TESSIE R & YVES LE T OU R NEU R Abstract An annotated checklist of the fish species of La Réunion (southwestern Indian Ocean) comprises a total of 984 species in 164 families (including 16 species which are not native). 65 species (plus 16 introduced) occur in fresh- water, with the Gobiidae as the largest freshwater fish family. 165 species (plus 16 introduced) live in transitional waters. In marine habitats, 965 species (plus two introduced) are found, with the Labridae, Serranidae and Gobiidae being the largest families; 56.7 % of these species live in shallow coral reefs, 33.7 % inside the fringing reef, 28.0 % in shallow rocky reefs, 16.8 % on sand bottoms, 14.0 % in deep reefs, 11.9 % on the reef flat, and 11.1 % in estuaries. 63 species are first records for Réunion. Zoogeographically, 65 % of the fish fauna have a widespread Indo-Pacific distribution, while only 2.6 % are Mascarene endemics, and 0.7 % Réunion endemics. The classification of the following species is changed in the present paper: Anguilla labiata (Peters, 1852) [pre- viously A. bengalensis labiata]; Microphis millepunctatus (Kaup, 1856) [previously M. brachyurus millepunctatus]; Epinephelus oceanicus (Lacepède, 1802) [previously E. fasciatus (non Forsskål in Niebuhr, 1775)]; Ostorhinchus fasciatus (White, 1790) [previously Apogon fasciatus]; Mulloidichthys auriflamma (Forsskål in Niebuhr, 1775) [previously Mulloidichthys vanicolensis (non Valenciennes in Cuvier & Valenciennes, 1831)]; Stegastes luteobrun- neus (Smith, 1960) [previously S.

Habitat Structure, Disturbance and the Composition of Sand-Dwelling Goby Assemblages in a Coral Reef Lagoon
MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 268: 221–230, 2004 Published March 9 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Habitat structure, disturbance and the composition of sand-dwelling goby assemblages in a coral reef lagoon Craig Syms1, 2,*, Geoffrey P. Jones1 1School of Marine Biology and Aquaculture, James Cook University, Townsville, Queensland 4811, Australia 2Present address: Long Marine Laboratory and Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California, 100 Shaffer Road, Santa Cruz, California 95060, USA ABSTRACT: Coral reef lagoons and back reef areas are composed more of sand than hard reef habi- tat. They support a diverse mix of fishes, including species restricted to sandy habitats and those dependent on both hard and soft substrata. However the resident assemblages associated with sand and the factors affecting their distribution and abundance are poorly understood. Here we examine spatial co-variation in the abundance of burrowing goby assemblages and habitat characteristics in the lagoon at Lizard Island (Great Barrier Reef). The aim was to identify which key habitat-variables should be incorporated into models to predict the structure of sand-dwelling fish communities. We focused on 10 common sand goby species from 7 genera: Amblyeleotris, Cryptocentrus, Ctenogob- iops and Vanderhorstia (associated with burrows constructed by alpheid shrimps), and Amblygobius, Oplopomus and Valenciennea (free-living, burrowing species). Spatial patterns were examined by stratifying the lagoon into 6 recognizable habitat zones, and conducting visual transects in replicate sites within each zone. The abundance of all goby species encountered and habitat variables (depth, distance from reef, topography, disturbance of different types, sediment composition) were recorded in each transect.
