43 genes support the lungfish-coelacanth grouping related to the closest living relative of tetrapods with the Bayesian method under the coalescence model

BMC Research Notes, 2011
Background Since the discovery of the "living fossil" in 1938, the coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae) has generally been considered to be the closest living relative of the land vertebrates, and this is still the prevailing opinion in most general biology ...

Aestivation induces widespread transcriptional changes in the African lungfish

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Aestivation is a special ability possessed by some animals to cope with hot and dry environments utilizing dormancy. At a macroscopic level, dormant animals stop moving and eating.

Relaxation of Natural Selection in the Evolution of the Giant Lungfish Genomes [PDF]

, 2023
Nonadaptive hypotheses on the evolution of eukaryotic genome size predict an expansion when the process of purifying selection becomes weak. Accordingly, species with huge genomes, such as lungfish, are expected to show a genome-wide relaxation signature

Leucism in South American Lungfishes Lepidosiren paradoxa Fitzinger, 1837 (Osteichthyes, Dipnoi, Lepidosirenidae) from Argentina

Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Pathology, 2020
The present study reports a case of leucism in South American Lungfish Lepidosiren paradoxa captured in Corrientes, Argentina. It was observed a change in cutaneous pigmentation, and it was concluded that it was leucism and not albinism, since there was ...

Quality and contribution of food sources to Australian lungfish evaluated using fatty acids and stable isotopes

, 2020
The Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri Krefft, 1870, is a threatened species whose long-term persistence is at risk due to land-use intensification, water resource development, and other human pressures. Changes to the hydrology of rivers has the

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 ...
