Table 1 Inferred ages in Ma and 95% highest posterior density (in parentheses) for clades in Eleotridae and Apogonidae, determined from both legacy and isthmus calibrations. Eleotris and Dormitator/Gobiomorus clade ages are for the larger New World clades containing those genera

From: Patterns of divergence in fish species separated by the Isthmus of Panama
