Table 1. Estimated divergence times of gobioid lineages.

Clade Mean Age (95% HPD)
Gobiiformes 140 Ma (190–101 Ma)
Gobioidei 122 Ma (170–85 Ma)
Rhyacichthyidae + Odontobutidae 98 Ma (136–63 Ma)
Milyeringa + Typhleotris + Eleotridae (A) 109 Ma (150–74 Ma)
Milyeringa + Typhleotris (B) 77 Ma (116–44 Ma)
Typhleotris 28 Ma (46–14 Ma)
Milyeringa 4 Ma (7–1.5 Ma)
Eleotridae 92 Ma (129–60 Ma)
Butidae 99 Ma (139–62 Ma)
Gobionellidae 103 Ma (139–71 Ma)
Gobiidae 108 Ma (145–74 Ma)

Divergence times correspond to those depicted in Figures 1 and 2. Ages are expressed in millions of years ago (Ma), with the mean age and the 95% higher posterior densities of potential divergence times (HPD). Letter in parentheses corresponds to the clade in Figure 1.
