The cranial endocast of Dipnorhynchus sussmilchi (Sarcopterygii: Dipnoi) and the interrelationships of stem-group lungfishes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 The first virtual cranial endocast of a lungfish from the Early Devonian, Dipnorhynchus sussmilchi, is described. Dipnorhynchus, only the fourth Devonian lungfish for which a near complete cranial endocast is known, is a key taxon for clarifying ...

The small non-coding RNA processing machinery of two living fossil species, lungfish and coelacanth, gives new insights into the evolution of the Argonaute protein family [PDF]
, 2017 Argonaute (AGO) family proteins play many roles in epigenetic programming, genome rearrangement, mRNA breakdown, inhibition of translation, and transposon silencing.

Olfactory Projections in the Lepidosirenid Lungfishes [PDF]
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2011 Olfactory nerve and olfactory bulb projections in lepidosirenid lungfishes were experimentally determined with neural tracers. Unilateral injections of DiI into the olfactory nerve labeled the accessory and main olfactory bulbs as well as fibers of the anterior root of the terminal nerve, which terminates extensively in cell groups of the medial ...

Physiological Responses to Prolonged Aquatic Hypoxia in the Queensland Lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri [PDF]
, 2002 The effects of moderate and severe hypoxia on air breathing frequency and respiratory properties of the blood of the Queensland (Australian) lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri were measured in fish exposed to these conditions for 14-22 days at 20 degrees C ...

Mandibular musculature constrains brain–endocast disparity between sarcopterygians
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 The transition from water to land by the earliest tetrapods in the Devonian Period is seen as one of the greatest steps in evolution. However, little is understood concerning changes in brain morphology over this transition.

LUNGFISHES' BALANCING ACT [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2007 ![Figure][1] Our bodies are constantly working to keep everything in balance; when we exercise, not only do we breathe harder to get more oxygen to our muscles, but also to get rid of the painful lactic acid `burn'. All air breathing land dwellers deal with acid – an excess of protons –

Optimal Strouhal number for swimming animals [PDF]
, 2011 To evaluate the swimming performances of aquatic animals, an important dimensionless quantity is the Strouhal number, St = fA/U, with f the tail-beat frequency, A the peak-to-peak tail amplitude, and U the swimming velocity.

Nkx2-5 and Sarcospan genetically interact in the development of the muscular ventricular septum of the heart [PDF]
, 2017 The muscular ventricular septum separates the flow of oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood in air-breathing vertebrates. Defects within it, termed muscular ventricular septal defects (VSDs), are common, yet less is known about how they arise than rarer ...
