Functional Anatomy of the Hearts of Lungfishes and Amphibians [PDF]
American Zoologist, 1968 Lungfishes and amphibians have bimodal gas exchange, but various species employ airbreathing with lungs to different degrees. An increased use of pulmonary breathing is correlated with progressive structural and functional separation of the pulmonary and systemic vascular circuits.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.During the summer fallow period, Pomacea canaliculata enters estivation under high temperature and drought stress yet maintains a survival rate exceeding 92%. Restructuring of the gut microbiota and metabolic adaptations in the liver, particularly the stability of fatty acid profiles, underpin its strong estivation tolerance.

The South American lungfish Lepidosiren paradoxa as a new host for Trichodina quelenii
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2018 Recently, the South American lungfish Lepidosiren paradoxa is being found inside aquaculture ponds, and even though there are a few studies on their parasite fauna, there is still much to be reported.

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Oxygen is critical for nearly all life on Earth, including aquatic species that breathe dissolved oxygen in both freshwater and marine systems. The rapid, global, and anthropogenic loss of dissolved oxygen known as “aquatic deoxygenation” threatens life in these environments, the human communities that depend on them, and Earth system ...

Stepwise formation of autostyly in lungfishes revealed by comparative analysis of palatoquadrate [PDF]
古脊椎动物学报 (中英文版)Autostyly, defined by fusion of the palatoquadrate to the neurocranium and loss of the hyomandibula as a suspensory element, is a hallmark of lungfish cranial organization among sarcopterygians, yet its evolutionary origin remains incompletely understood.

Brazilian Journal of BiologyLepidosiren paradoxa (pirambóia) is the single representative of Dipnoan (lungfish) in South America. This species is considered a living fossil, in spite of some reports describing this fish as having a very specialized life style.

Visual ecology of the Australian lungfish (
BMC Ecology, 2008 Background The transition from water to land was a key event in the evolution of vertebrates that occurred over a period of 15–20 million years towards the end of the Devonian. Tetrapods, including all land-living vertebrates, are thought to have evolved

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 –
