Deiodinase type III in the Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2004
This work presents characterisation of deiodinase type III (D3) mRNA as cDNA and the tissue distribution of D3 mRNA in the Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri. We have identified the full length of a approximately 1.4 kb D3 mRNA in the liver, which has a single in-frame UGA codon and a selenocysteine insertion sequence (SECIS) form 2 in the 3 ...

Isolation and characterization of 21 polymorphic microsatellite loci in the iconic Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri, using the Ion Torrent next-generation sequencing platform

Conservation Genetics Resources, 2013
We isolated and characterized 21 microsatellite loci in the vulnerable and iconic Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri. Loci were screened across eight individuals from the Burnett River and 40 individuals from the Pine River. Genetic diversity was

Increased scalability and sequencing quality of an epigenetic age prediction assay. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Epigenetic ageing in a human context, has been used to better understand the relationship between age and factors such as lifestyle and genetics. In an ecological setting, it has been used to predict the age of individual animals for wildlife management.

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.

Comparative pelvic development of the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) and the Australian lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri): conservation and innovation across the fish-tetrapod transition. [PDF]

Evodevo, 2013
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 ...

Early development of neural tissues and mesenchyme in the Australian lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri (Osteichthyes: Dipnoi)

Journal of Zoology, 2000
Analysis of early development of the head of the Australian lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri indicates that no mesenchyme cells in this species enter the embryo as neurectoderm cells, originally positioned between presumptive ectoderm and primordial neural

Physiological responses to prolonged aquatic hypoxia in the Queensland lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri [PDF]

Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2002
The effects of moderate and severe hypoxia on air breathing frequency and respiratory properties of the blood of the Queensland (Australian) lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri were measured in fish exposed to these conditions for 14-22 days at 20 degrees C.

Spawning activity of the Australian lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri in an impoundment

Journal of Fish Biology, 2014
This study assessed the spawning activity of the threatened Australian lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri by measuring egg densities within the artificial habitat of a large impoundment (Lake Wivenhoe, Australia). Eggs were sampled (August to November 2009) from multiple locations across the impoundment, but occurred at highest densities in water shallower

Scale structure in the Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri (Osteichthyes: Dipnoi).

Journal of morphology, 2015
Scales of the Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri, are secreted within the dermis by a capsule of scleroblasts, and enclosed in a pouch made of collagen fibers, in contact with the epidermis over the posterior third of the scale. Each scale grows from a focus, which represents the first formed part of the scale.

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
