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.

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Bony fish genomes: Status and gaps
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Bony fish constitute an exceptionally species‐rich group of aquatic vertebrates, comprising more than 95% of all living fish. The adaptive processes on the diversity of environments they inhabit make them a highly diverse group from taxonomic, morphological and evolutionary standpoints.

Spanish Journal of Palaeontology, 2022 Onychodontida (Osteichthyes, Sarcopterygii) was an extinct group of Devonian predatory marine fishes, representing an early branch in sarcopterygian evolution, and currently considered closely related to coelacanths (Actinistia). Due to their limited fossil record, the relationships of onychodonts within sarcopterygians, and whether all taxa ...

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Pectoral fins of bichirs encompass the so‐called dental plates – unique dermal skeletal elements with individual odontodes identical to the oral teeth. Abstract The dermal skeleton appeared early in vertebrate evolution in the form of mineralized skin denticles composed of tooth‐like units—odontodes.

PLoS ONE, 2021 Today, the only living genus of coelacanth, Latimeria is represented by two species along the eastern coast of Africa and in Indonesia. This sarcopterygian fish is nicknamed a "living fossil", in particular because of its slow evolution.

Development of the Pectoral Lobed Fin in the Australian Lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The evolutionary transition from paired fins to limbs involved the establishment of a set of limb muscles as an evolutionary novelty. In parallel, there was a change in the topography of the spinal nerves innervating appendicular muscles, so that ...

Los dipnoos (Sarcopterygii, Osteichthyes) del Mesozoico de Argentina
, 2023 Los dipnoos conforman un clado dentro de los sarcopterigios con un registro fósil que abarca desde el Devónico Temprano hasta el presente. Durante el Paleozoico los dipnoos eran mayormente marinos y su distribución cosmopolita. Sin embargo, a partir del Mesozoico habitan únicamente cuerpos de aguas continentales y su distribución comienza a limitarse ...

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Abstract The fossil record of coelacanths (Actinistia) is diminished by several nominal gaps that obscure vital information pertaining to the clade's evolutionary history. Latimeriidae, the family that includes the extant coelacanth Latimeria, in addition to the Cenozoic, has an outstanding missing gap of 50 myr during the Mesozoic, with no records of ...
