(b) Bayesian point estimates and 95% CIs for the timing of cichlid origin based on the distribution of cichlid fossils and the availability of freshwater sedimentary deposits of Triassic- Recent age on Gondwanan landmasses that bear articulated fish remains. The top estimate is derived from the record of landmasses inhabited by extant cichlids, and the bottom estimate is derived from the record of all Gondwanan landmasses. The density of all Gondwanan horizons bearing articulated freshwater fish fossils is indicated by the histogram at the bottom of the figure (densities including disarticulated material are ichlid fishes are a key model system in the study of adaptive radiation, speciation and evolutionary given in electronic supplementary developmental biology. More than 1600 cichlid species inhabit freshwater and marginal marine material). Grey bars indicate total horizon density. Pink bars indicate environments across several southern landmasses. This distributional pattern, combined with parallels the density of the subset of fossil between cichlid phylogeny and sequences of Mesozoic continental rifting, has led to the widely accepted fish horizons that bear cichlids.
