Studies on the Queensland Lungfish, Neoceratodus Forsteri (Krefft): III. Aerial Respiration in Relation to Habits [PDF]
Field observations made on the Mary and Burnett rivers in Queensland show that seasonal stagnancy and deoxygenation are unlikely to be factors accounting for the air-breathing habit in Neoceratodus, as current theory suggests.

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.

Anatomy and histology of the spiral valve intestine in juvenile Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri [PDF]
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.

Topological Analysis of the Brainstem of the Australian Lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri.
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.

Comparative pelvic development of the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) and the Australian lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri) : conservation and innovation across the fish-tetrapod transition [PDF]
Background: The fish-tetrapod transition was one of the major events in vertebrate evolution and was enabled by many morphological changes. Although the transformation of paired fish fins into tetrapod limbs has been a major topic of study in recent ...

The first virtual cranial endocast of a lungfish (sarcopterygii: dipnoi).
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 ...

Studies on the Queensland Lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri (Krefft). [PDF]
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.

Developmental Endocrinology of the Dipnoan,Neoceratodus forsteri [PDF]
The development of the pineal, pituitary and thyroid glands of the extant lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri , are being studied both morphologically and functionally. This paper presents data from hatching to 40–52 weeks for a standardised series of lungfish, bred at Macquarie University.
