Anatomical insights into fish terrestrial locomotion: A study of barred mudskipper (Periophthalmus argentilineatus) fins based on μCT 3D reconstructions

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 245, Issue 4, Page 593-624, October 2024.
This study reveals that the barred mudskipper, Periophthalmus argentilineatus, has evolved intricate musculoskeletal features in its fins, such as increased muscle volume, skeletal reinforcements, and specialized aponeuroses, signifying a profound evolutionary shift toward terrestrial life.

Extremely low microsatellite diversity but distinct population structure in a long-lived threatened species, the Australian lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri (Dipnoi).

PLoS ONE, 2015
The Australian lungfish is a unique living representative of an ancient dipnoan lineage, listed as 'vulnerable' to extinction under Australia's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

Darwin, Haeckel, and the “Mikluskan gas organ theory”

Developmental Dynamics, Volume 253, Issue 4, Page 370-389, April 2024.
Abstract A previously unknown reference to the Russian ethnologist, biologist, and traveler Nikolai N. Miklucho‐Maclay (1846–1888) was discovered in correspondence between Charles Darwin (1809–1882) and Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919). This reference has remained unknown to science, even to Miklucho‐Maclay's biographers, probably because Darwin used the ...

Unravelling the mystery of endemic versus translocated populations of the endangered Australian lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 5, March 2024.
Abstract The Australian lungfish is a primitive and endangered representative of the subclass Dipnoi. The distribution of this species is limited to south‐east Queensland, with some populations considered endemic and others possibly descending from translocations in the late nineteenth century shortly after European discovery.

Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri, threatened by a new dam [PDF]

Environmental Biology of Fishes, 2008
The Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri, exists as remnant natural populations in two rivers of south-east Queensland, Australia, and several translocated populations. Lungfish habitats have been impacted by agriculture and forestry, alien plants and fish and by river impoundment and regulation of flows. The species has been listed as vulnerable

Morphology of the cornea and iris in the Australian lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri (Krefft 1870) (Dipnoi): Functional and evolutionary perspectives of transitioning from an aquatic to a terrestrial environment

Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 1, January 2024.
The Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri, is the earliest branching species of extant lungfishes having changed little over the last 100 million years and is thought to be a key species for the fish–tetrapod transition. This ultrastructural study of the cornea reveals it is not split into dermal and scleral components and is similar to that of ...

Freshwater fish as hosts for parasites in Australia: How much do we really know?

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Australia has a highly endemic freshwater fish fauna, but basic biological knowledge for most is lacking. This includes an understanding, and description, of their parasite fauna. Additionally, the impacts of introduced fish species, and their parasites which have transferred across to native species, are also mostly unknown.

A Metapopulation Model to Assess Water Management Impacts on the Threatened Australian Lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri

Fishes
The Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri, is one of the world’s oldest vertebrate lineages, with a slow life-history and threatened status, requiring immediate conservation efforts.

Anatomy and cytology of the thymus in juvenile Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri

Journal of Anatomy, 2007
AbstractThe anatomy, histology and ultrastructure of the thymus of a dipnoan, the Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri, was studied by light and transmission electron microscopy. The thymic tissue showed clear demarcation into a cortex and medulla with ample vascularization. Large cells including foamy and giant multinucleated cells with periodic

Notas sobre cráneo, otolitos y biología de Lepidosiren paradoxa (Pisces, Dipnoi)

Biología Acuática, 2019
Lungfishes are a singular group of Sarcopterygii which in the Neotropics is represented by Lepidosiren paradoxa. They present anatomical and physiological features that allow them to survive under adverse conditions. Here we described and illustrated the
