Results hint at a North American origin… or convergent traits that muddy the family waters.

A new study shows that the earliest gobioid fishes were coral-reef associated dwarfs. Results suggest that dwarf gobies achieved ecological success early in gobioid evolution, arising through convergent evolution across different lineages🐟 Read more: buff.ly/GVMpJaF

Earliest gobioid fishes were coral-reef associated dwarfs: New evidence from the Eocene of Monte Bolca, Italy
The earliest skeleton-based gobioid fish, the minute goby †Carlomonnius quasigobius Bannikov and Carnevale, 2016 (13 mm standard length), originates from the Lower Eocene coral reef fish assemblage...
