The Gammaridae shows the greatest disparity in species diversity and distribution pattern in the Amphipoda, with some genera ranging from the Palearctic to Nearctic, while others are limited to the Mediterranean region or ancient Tethyan margins. Here we present the first molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Gammaridae to investigate its evolutionary history using four genetic markers and a comprehensive set of taxa representing 198 species. The phylogenetic results revealed that the Gammaridae originated from the Tethyan region in the Cretaceous, and split into three morphologically and geographically distinct lineages by the end of the Paleocene. Diversification analysis combined with paleogeological evidence suggested that the Tethyan changes induced by sea-level fluctuation and tectonic uplift triggered different diversification modes and range expansions for the three lineages. The Gammarus lineage underwent an early rapid radiation across Eurasia and North America, then declined towards modern species. Pontogammarids maintained stable diversification with restricted distributions around the Tethyan basin, whereas sarothrogammarids experienced evolutionary stasis by stranding on the ancient Tethyan margins. Our findings suggest that environmental changes have played an important role in the diversification of Gammaridae lineages, which could be an opportunity to promote adaptive radiations in new habitats, or constraints resulting in evolutionary relicts.
