Geography plays a strong role in shaping fungal-algal association patterns in Sticta as mycobionts associate with different algal lineages in different geographic locations. While fungal and algal phylogenies were mostly congruent, event-based methods did not find any evidence for cospeciation between the partners. Instead, the association patterns observed in Sticta and associated algae, were largely explained by other cophylogenetic events such as host-switches, losses of symbiont and failure of the symbiont to diverge with its host. Our results also show that tripartite associations with green algae evolved multiple times in Sticta.Gobies, sleepers, and cardinalfishes represent major clades of a species rich radiation of small bodied, ecologically diverse percomorphs (Gobiaria). Molecular phylogenetics has been crucial to resolving broad relationships of sleepers and gobies (Gobioidei), but the phylogenetic placements of cardinalfishes and nurseryfishes, as reciprocal or sequential sister clades to Gobioidei, are uncertain. In order to evaluate relationships among and within families we used a phylogenetic data mining approach to generate densely sampled trees inclusive of all higher taxa. We utilized conspecific amino acid homology to improve alignment accuracy, included ambiguously identified taxa to increase taxon sampling density, and resampled individual gene alignments to filter rogue sequences before concatenation. This approach yielded the most comprehensive tree yet of Gobiaria, inferred from a sparse (17 percent-complete) supermatrix of one ribosomal and 22 protein coding loci (18,065 characters), comprised of 50 outgroup and 777 ingroup t
