Molecular systematics of the New World clingfish genus Gobiesox (Teleostei: Gobiesocidae) and the origin of a freshwater clade
Abstract
First multi-locus molecular phylogenetic investigation of Gobiesox. Freshwater species of Gobiesox are monophyletic. Pherallodiscus is placed in the synonymy of Gobiesox. Two competing classifications for the Gobiesocidae contain non-monophyletic groups.
