Using the swimbladder as a respiratory organ and/or a buoyancy structure—Benefits and consequences
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 335, Issue 9-10, Page 831-842, November 1, 2021., 2021 Graphical abstract Abstract A swimbladder is a special organ present in several orders of Actinopterygians. As a gas‐filled cavity it contributes to a reduction in overall density, but on descend from the water surface its contribution as a buoyancy device is very limited because the swimbladder is compressed by increasing hydrostatic pressure.

Anatomy and histology of the spiral valve intestine in juvenile Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri [PDF]
, 2009 The Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri, is the only vertebrate that possesses a complete spiral valve intestine with pre-pyloric coiling. This study describes the anatomy and histology of the spiral valve intestine in juvenile N.

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.

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.

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 ...

Respiratory Properties of Blood and Pattern of Gas Exchange in the Lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri (Krefft) [PDF]
, 1966 Blood respiratory properties and gas exchange patterns have been studied in the lungfish Neoceratodus. O2 - Hb dissociation curve reveals a high affinity for O2 (P50 of 11 mm Hg at PCO2 3.5 mm Hg).
