Pitfalls and windfalls of detecting demographic declines using population genetics in long‐lived species

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract Detecting recent demographic changes is a crucial component of species conservation and management, as many natural populations face declines due to anthropogenic habitat alteration and climate change. Genetic methods allow researchers to detect changes in effective population size (Ne) from sampling at a single timepoint.

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

open access: yesDevelopmental 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)

open access: yesMolecular 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.

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

open access: yesJournal 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?

open access: yesEcology 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.

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

open access: yes, 2008
The Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri, exists as remnant natural populations in two rivers of south-east Queensland, Australia, and several translocated populations.

Neuropeptides in the Australian lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri: effects in vivo and presence in autonomic nerves

open access: yes, 1994
The Australian lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri is one of the few extant species of a phylogenetically ancient group. Immunohistochemistry showed the presence of galanin-, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-, neurotensin-, substance P-, and ...

Neoceratodus forsteri, Queensland Lungfish

open access: yes, 2019
Listed as Endangered because its Area of Occupancy is estimated to be 328 km2 , its range is severely fragmented, and there is a continuing decline in the Area of Occupancy and quality of the species' habitat due to fragmentation and habitat alteration ...
