01Narrative
Eutaeniichthys gilli is a species of goby native to brackish waters of the northwestern Pacific Ocean from around Japan, the Korean Peninsula and the Yellow Sea. It is an inhabitant of estuarine tide pools where it can be found under rocks. This species grows to a length of 4 cm SL. This species is the only known member of its genus. The generic name is a compound of eu meaning "good", taenia meaning "ribbon" or "tape", Eutaenia being a synonym of the garter snake genus Thamnophis, and ichthys, "fish". The specific name honours the American ichthyologist Theodore Gill (1837-1914) for his work on the gobies of Japan.

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Eutaeniichthys gilli has left across the world's sequence archives.

07Deep time~45.7 Ma lineage
How far back this lineage goes — and how we know. Everything here is measured in Ma, short for “mega-annum”: millions of years ago. The chart reads left to right like a calendar of the Earth, from the deep past on the left to today at the right edgetop to bottom like a core drilled through the Earth, from the deep past at the top down to today at the bottom.

When this lineage existed
How to read this: the coloured strip along the bottomdown the left is the geological calendar — the standard epochs (Pliocene, Pleistocene…) every museum uses, shown so you can see which chapter of Earth's history this lineage lived in. This lineage is a young one, so the strip is zoomed in to epochs — the finer subdivisions inside a period. The orange marker is the DNA clock: DNA accumulates mutations at a roughly steady rate, so comparing this species' DNA with its relatives estimates when the lineage split off — independently of any fossil.
