Visual ecology of the Australian lungfish (
BMC Ecology, 2008 Background The transition from water to land was a key event in the evolution of vertebrates that occurred over a period of 15–20 million years towards the end of the Devonian. Tetrapods, including all land-living vertebrates, are thought to have evolved

Visual pigments in a living fossil, the Australian lungfish
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background One of the greatest challenges facing the early land vertebrates was the need to effectively interpret a terrestrial environment. Interpretation was based on ocular adaptations evolved for an aquatic environment millions of years earlier.

Age structure of the Australian lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 The Australian lungfish has been studied for more than a century without any knowledge of the longevity of the species. Traditional methods for ageing fish, such as analysis of otolith (ear stone) rings is complicated in that lungfish otoliths differ ...

Brain - Endocast Relationship in the Australian Lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri, Elucidated from Tomographic Data (Sarcopterygii: Dipnoi). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Although the brains of the three extant lungfish genera have been previously described, the spatial relationship between the brain and the neurocranium has never before been fully described nor quantified.

Immunolocalization of Some Epidermal Proteins and Glycoproteins in the Growing Skin of the Australian Lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri) [PDF]
Journal of Developmental Biology, 2023 Here we report the immunolocalization of mucin, nestin, elastin and three glycoproteins involved in tissue mineralization in small and large juveniles of Neoceratodus forsteri.

Cloning of nine glucocorticoid receptor isoforms from the slender African lungfish (Protopterus dolloi) [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 We wanted to clone the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) from slender African lungfish (Protopterus dolloi) for comparison to the P. dolloi mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), which we had cloned and were characterizing, as well as for comparison to the GRs from

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

Respiratory control in the lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri (krefft) [PDF]
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 1967 1. Respiratory control has been studied in the lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri by measuring ventilation (Ve), oxygen uptake (VO2), per cent O2 extraction from water, breathing rates of branchial and aerial respiration and changes in blood gas and pulmonary gas composition during exposure to hypoxia and hypercarbia. 2.

Characterization of the hemoglobins of the Australian lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri (Krefft)
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2009 We examined for the first time the hemoglobin components of the blood of the Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri and their functional responses to pH and the allosteric modulators adenosine triphosphate (ATP), guanosine triphosphate (GTP), 2,3-bisphosphoglyceric acid (BPG) and inositol hexaphosphate (IHP) at 25 degrees C.

Prismatic dentine in the Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri (Osteichthyes: Dipnoi)
Tissue and Cell, 2006 The Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri, has a dentition consisting of enamel, mantle dentine and bone, enclosing circumdenteonal, core and interdenteonal dentines. Branching processes from cells that produce interdenteonal dentine leave the cell surface at different angles, with collagen fibrils aligned parallel to the long axis of each process.
