“…The spacer sequences display substantial divergence between species (Figure 1). Since spacer sequences are more similar among the two Neogobius species and among the three Proterorhinus, Babka and Ponticola species,respectively, they support the previously observed division of Benthophilinae into a Neogobius and a Ponticola lineage (Neilson and Stepien 2009a;Medvedev et al 2013). The spacer sequences appear to evolve quite freely and may be useful to (1) clarify currently debated relationships among Ponticola species (Neilson and Medvedev et al 2013) and to (2) confirm the identity of putative cryptic tubenose goby species (Neilson and Stepien 2009b).…”

Genetic innovation may be linked to evolutionary success, and indeed, the invasive round goby mitochondrial genome sequence carries two novel features not previously described in Benthophilinae. First, the round goby mitochondrial genome carries a rearrangement of the tRNA cluster Ile-Glu-Met. Second, the round goby mitochondrial genome features a 1250 bp non-coding sequence insertion downstream of the D-loop region. In this publication, we test where in the goby phylogeny the novel tRNA arrangement first arose and whether the sequence insertion is associated with invasive populations only or a genuine feature of the species. We sequence native and invasive populations in Europe and North America, and show that all round gobies carry the sequence insertion. By sequencing the tRNA cluster in selected Gobiidae, we show that the tRNA arrangement arose at the root of the Benthophilinae species radiation.

“…Discussion In a recent phylogenetic review of the PontoCaspian Gobiidae, Medvedeva et al (2013) presented results based on cytochrome b extraction that showed a clear separation of the two genera Neogobius and Ponticola. These observations are corroborated by otolith analysis (ongoing research), which show a compressed otolith shape in the species of the genus Neogobius and an elongate, parallelogram-like shape with prominent preventral and postdorsal projections in species of the genus Ponticola.…”

Otoliths in situ from Sarmatian (Middle Miocene) fishes of the Paratethys. Part III: tales from the cradle of the Ponto-Caspian gobies

Articulated fossil fish skeletons with otoliths in situ provide a unique opportunity to link these two, otherwise independent data sets of skeletons and otoliths. They provide calibration points for otoliths also adding important information for the evolutionary interpretation of fishes. Here, we review nine articulated skeletons of gobies from the early Sarmatian of Dolje, Croatia, and Belgrade, Serbia, which were previously regarded as members of a single gobiid and a callionymid species. We found them to represent five different gobiid species belonging to five different genera, four of which are related to extant endemic Ponto-Caspian gobiid lineages. The species are: Aphia macrophthalma n.sp., Proneogobius n.gen. pullus (the only previously recognized species), Protobenthophilus n.gen. squamatus n.sp., Economidichthys triangularis (a species first described based on otoliths) and Hesperichthys n.gen. reductus n.sp. Five specimens contained otoliths in situ and a sixth shows imprints of otoliths which unfortunately must have been lost in the past, probably during preparation of the fossil. Together, they represent all five species recognized by skeletons, and three are linked to otolith-based species. Isolated otoliths have been reviewed from a variety of collections from Sarmatian strata in Austria, Bulgaria, Czechia, Romania and Slovakia resulting in the description of five new otolith-based species: Benthophilus? ovisulcus n.sp., Benthophilus styriacus n.sp., Protobenthophilus strashimirovi n.sp., Economidichthys altidorsalis n.sp. and Knipowitschia bulgarica n.sp. Our review demonstrates that all major endemic Ponto-Caspian gobiid lineages were already present during Sarmatian times, thereby pushing back their origin by approximately 5-10 myr in comparison to previously published dates for dichotomies. In our assessment, the origination of these lineages is linked to the early stage of separation of the Paratethys from the world oceans and the ecological changes that occurred during that time. These geological events parallel a dramatic increase in gobiid radiation and speciation, giving rise to many lineages, not all of which have persisted until today.Editorial handling:
