Blood and inflammatory cells of the lungfish Lepidosiren paradoxa

open access: yesFish & Shellfish Immunology, 2007
A special interest exists concerning lungfish because they may possess characteristics of the common ancestor of land vertebrates. However, little is known about their blood and inflammatory cells; thus the fine structure, cytochemistry and differential cell counts of coelomic exudate and blood leucocytes were studied in Lepidosiren paradoxa.

Thermal Responses of the South American Lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa

Copeia, 1980
Intestinal temperatures of nine South American lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa (Fitzinger), were monitored following exposures to sudden changes of +6.0 C in water temperature. Body weights were significantly (P < 0.001) correlated with thermal equilibration halftimes (T1/2) in a double logarithmic fashion for both heating and cooling.

On the cardiac control in the South American lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa

open access: yesComparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1989
Abstract 1. 1. The mechanisms behind cardiac control were investigated in the South American lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa , using fish with chronically implanted cannulae and electromagnetic flow probes. In addition, a preliminary study was made of the cardiovascular events associated with air breathing. 2. 2.

Nitrogen metabolism of the South American lungfish Lepidosiren paradoxa

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1972
Abstract 1. 1. Lepidosiren paradoxa, kept in water, either fed or unfed, excretes up to 38 per cent its nitrogenous waste as urea. 2. 2. d -Arginine is hydrolyzed by liver homogenates but l -arginine and guanidinic compounds are not. 3. 3.

Retina of the South American lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa Fitzinger

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1973
The characteristic feature of the retina of Lepidosiren paradoxa is the hugeness (20–25 μm) and sparse-ness of the cells which compose it. The epithelial layer is well pigmented. The visual cells may be classified into rods and single cones which possess a large oil droplet and a smaller paraboloid.

Another Specimen of Lepidosiren paradoxa

Nature, 1888
IT may interest some of your readers to know that I have lately received another specimen of this rare fish from my friend Dr. J. Barbosa Rodriguez, the energetic Director of the Museu Botanico do Amazonas at Manaos. This is the fifth specimen known. A short notice of the fourth specimen, an adult female of large size, caught in the Igarape do Aterro ...
