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.

  • The First Record of a Trans-Oceanic Sister-Group Relationship Between Obligate Vertebrate Troglobites
    The First Record of a Trans-Oceanic Sister-Group Relationship between Obligate Vertebrate Troglobites Prosanta Chakrabarty1*, Matthew P. Davis2, John S. Sparks3 1 Louisiana State University, Museum of Natural Science, Department of Biological Sciences, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States of America, 2 The Field Museum, Department of Zoology, Chicago, Illinois, United States of America, 3 American Museum of Natural History, Department of Ichthyology, Division of Vertebrate Zoology, New York, New York, United States of America Abstract We show using the most complete phylogeny of one of the most species-rich orders of vertebrates (Gobiiformes), and calibrations from the rich fossil record of teleost fishes, that the genus Typhleotris, endemic to subterranean karst habitats in southwestern Madagascar, is the sister group to Milyeringa, endemic to similar subterranean systems in northwestern Australia. Both groups are eyeless, and our phylogenetic and biogeographic results show that these obligate cave fishes now found on opposite ends of the Indian Ocean (separated by nearly 7,000 km) are each others closest relatives and owe their origins to the break up of the southern supercontinent, Gondwana, at the end of the Cretaceous period. Trans-oceanic sister-group relationships are otherwise unknown between blind, cave-adapted vertebrates and our results provide an extraordinary case of Gondwanan vicariance.

  • The Lost Freshwater Goby Fish Fauna (Teleostei, Gobiidae) from the Early Miocene of Klinci (Serbia)

Much data have been gathered from isolated otoliths, but articulated skeletons are relatively rare. Here, we review a rich assemblage of articulated gobies with abundant otoliths in situ from the late early Miocene lake deposits of Klinci in the Valjevo freshwater lake of the Valjevo-Mionica Basin of Serbia. The fauna was originally described by And¯elkovic´ in 1978, who noted many different fishes, including one goby (Gobius multipinnatus H. v. Meyer 1848), and was subsequently revised by Gaudant (1998), who collapsed all previously recognized species into a single gobiid species that he described as new, namely Gobius serbiensis Gaudant 1998. Our review resulted in the recognition of three highly adaptive extinct freshwater gobiid genera with four species being divided among them: Klincigobius andjelkovicae n.gen. and n.sp., Klincigobius serbiensis (Gaudant 1998), Rhamphogobius varidens n.gen. and n.sp., and Toxopyge campylus n.gen. and n.sp. Otoliths were found in situ in all four species, which allowed for the allocation of multiple previously described otolith-based species to these extinct gobiid genera.

  • Fish Remains, Mostly Otoliths, from the Non−Marine Early Miocene of Otago, New Zealand
    Fish remains, mostly otoliths, from the non−marine early Miocene of Otago, New Zealand WERNER SCHWARZHANS, R. PAUL SCOFIELD, ALAN J.D. TENNYSON, JENNIFER P. WORTHY, and TREVOR H. WORTHY Schwarzhans, W., Scofield, R.P., Tennyson, A.J.D., Worthy, J.P., and Worthy, T.H. 2012. Fish remains, mostly otoliths, from the non−marine early Miocene of Otago, New Zealand. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 57 (2): 319–350. Fish remains described from the early Miocene lacustrine Bannockburn Formation of Central Otago, New Zealand, con− sist of several thousand otoliths and one skeleton plus another disintegrated skull. One species, Mataichthys bictenatus Schwarzhans, Scofield, Tennyson, and T. Worthy gen. et sp. nov., an eleotrid, is established on a skeleton with otoliths in situ. The soft embedding rock and delicate, three−dimensionally preserved fish bones were studied by CT−scanning tech− nology rather than physical preparation, except where needed to extract the otolith. Fourteen species of fishes are de− scribed, 12 new to science and two in open nomenclature, representing the families Galaxiidae (Galaxias angustiventris, G. bobmcdowalli, G. brevicauda, G. papilionis, G. parvirostris, G. tabidus), Retropinnidae (Prototroctes modestus, P. vertex), and Eleotridae (Mataichthys bictenatus, M. procerus, M. rhinoceros, M. taurinus). These findings prove that most of the current endemic New Zealand/southern Australia freshwater fish fauna was firmly established in New Zea− land as early as 19–16 Ma ago. Most fish species indicate the presence of large fishes, in some cases larger than Recent species of related taxa, for instance in the eleotrid genus Mataichthys when compared to the extant Gobiomorphus. The finding of a few otoliths from marine fishes corroborates the age determination of the Bannockburn Formation as the Altonian stage of the New Zealand marine Tertiary stratigraphy.

  • DNA Barcoding of Freshwater Fishes in Matang, Malaysia

In this study DNA barcoding was applied to establish a framework at University of Malaya for rapid and efficient identification of freshwater fish of Malaysia instead of relying on morphological techniques that require high level of taxonomical knowledge and field experience. The results, when applying the established framework, indicate that the interspecific divergences calculated for our target group are clearly greater than intraspecific variations within the group, i.e. a barcode gap seems to exist. Indications are hence that cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 sequences as barcodes could be effective tools for rapid identification of freshwater fishes and results could provide a good start for researchers at University of Malaya to start build a reference library of barcode sequences.
