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.

Heart and Circulation of the African Lungfish [PDF]
Circulation Research, 1969 Cardiovascular structure and function were studied in the African lungfish, Protopterus aethiopicus , by a combination of anatomical and physiological techniques. Particular emphasis was placed on mechanisms which operate under natural conditions in which air-breathing alternates with water-breathing.

A diverse Late Cretaceous vertebrate tracksite from the Winton Formation of Queensland, Australia [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The Upper Cretaceous ‘upper’ Winton Formation of Queensland, Australia is world famous for hosting Dinosaur Stampede National Monument at Lark Quarry Conservation Park, a somewhat controversial tracksite that preserves thousands of tridactyl dinosaur ...

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 ...

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 ...

Structural and functional divergence of growth hormone-releasing hormone receptors in early sarcopterygians: lungfish and Xenopus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The evolutionary trajectories of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) receptor remain enigmatic since the discovery of physiologically functional GHRH-GHRH receptor (GHRHR) in non-mammalian vertebrates in 2007.

Scientific Reports, 2021 Caudata is an order of amphibians with great variation in genome size, which can reach enormous dimensions in salamanders. In this work, we analysed the activity of transposable elements (TEs) in the transcriptomes obtained from female and male gonads of

Age structure of the Australian lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri).
PLoS ONE, 2019 The Australian lungfish has been studied for more than a century without any knowledge of the longevity of the species. Traditional methods for ageing fish, such as analysis of otolith (ear stone) rings is complicated in that lungfish otoliths differ ...
