Frontiers in Earth Science, 2014 As the closest living relatives of tetrapods, lungfishes are frequently used as extant models for exploring the fin-to-limb transition. These studies have generally given little consideration to fossil taxa.

Studies on the Queensland Lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri (Krefft). [PDF]
Australian Journal of Zoology, 1965 The lung of Neoceratodus forsteri consists of a single elongated sac dorsal to the gut and attached firmly along the dorsal mid-line in the region of the vertebral column. It communicates with the gut through the pneumatic duct which opens ventrolaterally via the glottis, on the right side of the pharynx.

The first virtual cranial endocast of a lungfish (sarcopterygii: dipnoi).
PLoS ONE, 2014 Lungfish, or dipnoans, have a history spanning over 400 million years and are the closest living sister taxon to the tetrapods. Most Devonian lungfish had heavily ossified endoskeletons, whereas most Mesozoic and Cenozoic lungfish had largely ...

Topological Analysis of the Brainstem of the Australian Lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri.
Brain, behavior and evolution, 2022 This paper presents a survey of the cell masses in the brainstem of the Australian lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri, based ontransversely cut Bodian-stained serial sections, supplemented by immunohistochemical data from the recent literature. This study is intended to serve a double purpose.

Physiological responses to prolonged aquatic hypoxia in the Queensland lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri [PDF]
Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 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.

Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 648-662, October 2025.We developed a set of innovative landscape resistance models to identify how climatic, topographic and vegetation variables influenced gene flow in the iconic Australian platypus across a 300 km2 urbanised landscape. Our research identified topographic wetness, rainfall and vegetation cover as consistently important for maintaining landscape‐scale gene

Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Although the surface micro‐ornamentation of the scales within the skin of snakes has been the subject of many previous studies, there has been little work done on the spectacle, a protective (keratinised) goggle separated from the underlying cornea by a sub‐spectacular space. The surface ultrastructure of the “Oberhäutchen” of the spectacle is

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2018 Expression patterns of Nkx2.1 and Islet-1 (Isl1), which encode transcription factors that are key in the regionalization of the forebrain, were analyzed by combined immunohistochemical methods in young adult specimens of two lungfishes (Neoceratodus ...

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 2, March 2025.ABSTRACT Ornamental aquaculture and fishkeeping are very popular with millions of enthusiasts worldwide. The number of newly imported fish species for ornamental purposes grew slowly from World War I until the 1980s. It then exponentially increased until now with more than 7900 species and a large number of scientifically undescribed morphotypes.
