Abstract:
Lepidosiren and Protopterus have a jaw-opening muscle which is topographically and functionally similar to the depressor mandibulae of salamanders. The similarity is so close that it poses the question whether the lepidosirenid jaw-opening system is homologous to that of tetrapods. New information presented here confirms that the muscle is absent in Neoceratodus forsteri, the living sister species of Lepidosiren and Protopterus, and paleontological evidence shows that the muscle was absent in phylogenetically primitive lungfishes. There are also developmental differences between the mandibular depressor of lepidosirenids and the depressor mandibulae of tetrapods. Based on this, I conclude that the mandibular depressor of lepidosirenids has evolved independently from the functionally equivalent muscle of amphibians.

Abstract:
A newly discovered locality of aestivation burrow casts containing the lungfish, Gnathorhiza serrata, is reported from the early Permian Arroyo Formation of Wilbarger County, north-central Texas. Remains preserved in the burrow casts provide sections of mummified Gnathorhiza and new information about the postcranial skeleton of this fish. Scales of Gnathorhiza resemble those of the modern lungfishes such as Lepidosiren in their microanatomy. No traces of paddle-like pectoral or pelvic fins were found and paired fins of Gnathorhiza may have resembled those of Lepidosiren. The axial skeleton and median fins of Gnathorhiza seem to resemble those of Lepidosiren except that the tail area and caudal fin of Gnathorhiza were stout and strong rather than slender and tapering. Gnathorhiza, which aestivated tail-down in its burrow, may have required a stout tail for support.

Abstract:
A introdução de peixes não nativos em águas interiores é uma das principais ameaças à biodiversidade. Espécies introduzidas podem competir por recursos, predar a fauna nativa, transmitir doenças, hibridização e parasitas. Lepidosiren paradoxa, popularmente conhecido como piramboia, é o único representante sul americano do grupo dos dipnoicos, verdadeiros peixes pulmonados, sendo sua área de abrangência natural, as bacias do rio Amazonas, do rio Paraguai, no baixo Paraná e do rio Orinoco. Como todas as espécies exóticas ou alóctones introduzidas fora de seu ambiente natural, é um potencial invasor aos ambientes aquáticos. Este trabalho registra a primeira ocorrência de Lepidosiren paradoxa no rio Paraopeba, bacia do rio São Francisco, no estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Os exemplares de L. paradoxa descritos no presente trabalho e identificado de acordo com a literatura especializada foram capturados em uma lagoa marginal (margem esquerda) do rio Paraopeba chamada de lagoa Chiqueiro (19o21’52,5”S - 44o32’26,5”W), localizada no município de Papagaios, e a uma profundidade de 3 m. Foi utilizada na captura rede de emalhar de nylon com malhas de 8 cm entre nós opostos. O presente trabalho aumenta a lista de espécies introduzidas na bacia do rio Paraopeba e serve de alerta sobre os potenciais impactos da introdução de peixes sobre a ictiofauna nativa.

Os machos adultos de L. paradoxa diferenciam-se das fêmeas através da presença de filamentos nas nadadeiras pélvicas. Estes filamentos assemelham-se àqueles encontrados em brânquias de peixes e de salamandras neotênicas. Estes filamentos desenvolvem-se e tornam-se vascularizados durante o período de reprodução. Neste trabalho, propomos testar a hipótese de que os filamentos pélvicos de L. paradoxa compartilham características morfológicas e moleculares com filamentos brânquiais. Para tanto, realizamos análise morfológica e molecular dos filamentos das nadadeiras pélvicas entre as estações de estiagem e chuvosa. A análise morfológica ocorreu através de coloração de hematoxilina e eosina (HE) e microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV). Por fim, foi feita a quantificação de expressão gênica de marcadores enriquecidos em brânquias de peixes, através de PCR em Tempo Real (RT-PCR), utilizando a nadadeira peitoral como referência. O comprimento dos filamentos da estação chuvosa e de estiagem apresentaram os valores de média e desvio padrão de, 4,31 mm±0,186 e 1,63 mm±0,104, respectivamente. Nas imagens de MEV foram observadas algumas células com microvilosidades e/ou microciliadas e algumas células menores. Nas análises de HE os filamentos apresentaram uniformidade no seu epitélio formada com 4 camadas de células, sendo preenchido por tecido conjuntivo e por fim tornam-se mais vascularizados na estação chuvosa. Na analise molecular de RT-PCR os marcadores selecionados não apresentaram variação quando comparados com a nadadeira peitoral e entre as estações. Em conclusão, apesar de existirem semelhanças morfológicas entre filamentos pélvicos de L. paradoxa e filamentos brânquiais de peixes e anfíbios, os dados moleculares aqui obtidos não suportam a hipótese de que estes filamentos realizem trocas gasosas.<br>The Lepidosiren paradoxa species belongs to Dipnoi order, along with two genre and are considered true lungfishes. Adult males of L. paradoxa differ from females by the presence of filaments in the pelvic fin. These filaments resemble those found in gills of fish and neotenic salamanders. These filaments are grow and become vascularized during the reproduction period. In this work we tested the hypothesis that the pelvic filament of L. paradoxa share morphological and molecular characteristics with gill filaments. Thus, we performed morphological and molecular analyses of the filaments of the pelvic fins between the dry and rainy seasons. Morphological analysis was perfomed through hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Finally, we quantified gene expression of gill markers by RT-PCR using pectoral fin as reference. The mean length and standard deviation of the filaments during rainy and dry season were 4,31mm of ± 0.186 and 1,63mm ± 0.104, respectively. In the SEM images, we observed with a few cell microvilli and/or microplicae and some smaller cells. In the HE analyzes we found that the filaments have uniform epithelium formed with four layers of cells being filled by connective tissue and finally become more vascularized the rainy season. Molecular analysis through RT-PCR did not show any change when compared to the pectoral fin and between the stations. In conclusion, despite morphological and molecular similarities between gill filaments and pelvic fin filaments, our findings do not support a role for L. paradoxa pelvic filaments in gas exchange.

The present study aimed to analyze the peripheral blood cells and the structural and functional characterization (in vitro) of hemoglobins of the South American lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa and facultative air-breathing fish H. unitaeniatus collected nearby Cuiaba, MT. The hematological variables, blood cell size, plasma ions, glucose and protein concentrations and the osmolality as well as the electrophoretic patterns of Hbs, the Root effect, quantification and the effect of allosteric modulators (IHP, ATP, GTP, 2.3 - BPG and NaCl) of the affinity of Hb to oxygen and Hb affinity in experiments of oxygenation in the blood stripped to and 4oC, 21oC and 40oC. The blood cells of L. paradoxa are exceptionally large and not numerous compared to H. unitaeniatus. The hematocrit and blood pH were similar in the two species. The erythrocyte number was lower in L. paradoxa (52 .103 ± 17 &#61549;L-1) than in H unitaeniatus (2386 .103 ± 370 &#61549;L-1). The hematimetric indexes mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular Hb were higher in L. paradoxa while the mean corpuscular Hb concentration and Hb concentration were higher in H. unitaeniatus. Among the white blood cells, in L. paradoxa, the lymphocytes (65.00 ± 4.00 %) were the most frequent cells, followed by eosinophils (19.00 ± 3.00 %), neutrophils (12.00 ± 2.00 %), monocytes (2.00 ± 0.60 %) and basophils (1.40 ± 0.40 %). In H. unitaeniatus lymphocytes were also the most frequent cells (85.14 ± 3.21 %) followed by neutrophils (12.00 ± 3.00 %) and monocytes (2.90 ± 1.23 %). In L. paradoxa the Mg+2, glucose and total protein plasma levels were significantly smaller than in H. unitaeniatus. There were no significant differences in the levels of K+, Ca+2, Cl- and osmolarity of plasma and between both species. Two Hb components, one major and another minor band was identified in L. paradoxa and another smaller; in H. unitaeniatus 6 anode components being 3 slow components and 3 fast component have been identified at different concentrations. In both species the stripped Hbs in three temperatures and in the presence of modulators, showed normal Bohr effect. In L. paradoxa cooperatively values were near 2.00 indicating cooperatively and absence of effect of Root; in H. unitaeniatus the cooperatively values were near 1.50, indicating low cooperatively and presence of Root effect. The affinity of Hb-oxygen proved be higher as decreased the temperature. The 2.3 - BPG was little effective in modulate the Hb in both species. The IHP ATP, GTP, and NaCl acted as negative modulators, being more effective in the modulation of Hb of H. unitaeniatus. The 2.3 - BPG was not detected in H. unitaeniatus and the ATP was the primary nucleotide intraeritrocitário for the two species being approximately 2 times higher than the GTP. In L. paradoxa was detected small amount IP2, but not in H. unitaeniatus. Our results show marked differences between the blood cells of L. paradoxa and H. unitaeniatus and the ability of adaptation of Hbs to environmental conditions to which they living.<br>A composição celular do sangue, em sua expressão quantitativa e qualitativa, bem como as propriedades funcionais das hemoglobinas apresenta aspectos característicos de adaptação ao ambiente aquático, auxiliando a compreensão da adaptabilidade dos peixes ao ambiente. O presente estudo teve como objetivo a análise do sangue periférico e a caracterização estrutural e funcional (in vitro) das hemoglobinas do peixe pulmonado Lepidosiren paradoxa e do peixe de respiração aérea facultativa Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus coletados nos arredores de Cuiabá, MT. Para tanto foram determinadas as variáveis hematológicas, as concentrações plasmática de íons, glicose, proteínas e osmolalidade, a análise biométrica e morfológica das células sanguíneas, o padrão eletroforético das hemoglobinas, o efeito Root, a quantificação e o efeito dos moduladores alostéricos (IHP, ATP, GTP, 2,3 - BPG e NaCl) na modulação da afinidade das hemoglobinas ao oxigênio e a afinidade das hemoglobinas em experimentos de equilíbrio de oxigenação em sangue e stripped à 4oC, 21oC e 40oC. As células sanguíneas de L. paradoxa são excepcionalmente grandes e pouco numerosas comparadas as de H. unitaeniatus. Os valores de hematócrito e pH sanguíneo foram similares nas duas espécies. O número de eritrócitos foi mais baixo em L. paradoxa (52 103 ± 17 &#61549;L-1) do que em H. unitaeniatus (2386 103 ± 370 &#61549;L-1). Os índices hematimétricos, volume corpuscular médio e hemoglobina corpuscular média foram maiores em L. paradoxa enquanto que a concentração de hemoglobina corpuscular média e a concentração de hemoglobina foram maiores em H. unitaeniatus. Dentre os leucócitos, em L. paradoxa os linfócitos (65,00 ± 4,00 %) foram os mais freqüentes, seguidos dos eosinófilos (19,00 ± 3,00 %), neutrófilos (12,00 ± 2,00 %), monócitos (2,00 ± 0,60 %) e basófilos (1,40 ± 0,40 %). Em H. unitaeniatus os linfócitos também foram os mais freqüentes (85,14 ± 3,21 %) seguidos dos neutrófilos (12,00 ± 3,00 %) e monócitos (2,90 ± 1,23 %). Em L. paradoxa os níveis plasmáticos de Na+, Mg+2, glicose e proteínas totais foram significativamente menores aos observados em H. unitaeniatus. Não houve diferenças significativas nos valores de K+, Ca+2, Cl- e osmolaridade plasmática entre as duas espécies. O padrão eletroforético em gel de amido para L. paradoxa, mostrou a presença de dois componentes, um maior lento, e outro menor rápido, em H. unitaeniatus foram identificados 6 componentes anódicos com diferentes concentrações, sendo 3 componentes lentos e 3 componentes rápidos. Nas espécies estudadas as hemoglobinas stripped nas três temperaturas e na presença dos moduladores, mostraram efeito Bohr normal. Em L. paradoxa os valores de Hill foram próximos de 2,00 indicando cooperatividade e ausência de efeito Root; em H. unitaeniatus os valores de Hill próximos de 1,50, indicaram baixa cooperatividade e presença de efeito Root. A afinidade das hemoglobinas ao oxigênio mostrou-se maior à medida que se diminuiu a temperatura. O 2,3 - BPG foi pouco efetivo na modulação das hemoglobinas de ambas as espécies, já os moduladores IHP, GTP, ATP e NaCl atuaram como moduladores negativos, sendo a modulação mais efetiva em H. unitaeniatus. Não detectamos 2,3 - BPG e o ATP foi o principal nucleotídeo intra-eritrocitário para as duas espécies sendo aproximadamente 2 vezes superior ao GTP. Em L. paradoxa foi detectado pequena quantidade IP2, em H. unitaeniatus não detectamos a presença de inositóis. Os resultados mostram diferenças marcantes entre as células de L. paradoxa e H. unitaeniatus e a capacidade de adaptação molecular das hemoglobinas destas espécies às condições fisiológicas e ambientais a que estão sujeitas.

Abstract:
Lepidosirenidae is a clade of freshwater lungfishes that comprise the South American Lepidosiren paradoxa and four African species of the genus Protopterus. These two genera have been geographically separated since the Early Cretaceous break-up of Gondwana, but they share similar biology and skeletal morphology. The lepidosirenid species traditionally were distinguished by a combination of features such as head-to-body ratios, the number of pairs of vertebral ribs, and the presence or absence of external gills, but there are no published discrete skeletal characteristics and no published comparative studies including all extant species. I used High Resolution X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT), X-Ray photography, and alcohol-preserved, cleared-and-stained, and dry skeletal specimens from museum collections to describe the skeletal morphology of all species of lepidosirenid lungfishes in a comparative context. I digitally disarticulated the bones in each CT scan to compile a comprehensive comparative atlas of the cranial and pectoral elements of all extant lungfish. I discovered that the anocleithrum in Lepidosiren paradoxa, which was previously thought to be lacking, is actually present. I also identified skeletal differences between species in the frontoparietal, parasphenoid, supraorbital, and suboperculum. I incorporated those characters into the first morphological phylogenetic analysis to determine the interrelationships of the lepidosirenids. I also used previously published molecular sequence data from the ribosomal RNA gene 16s to run combined morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses. To generate phylogenetic hypotheses using different types of data and different methods of determining phylogeny, I employed the maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian inference methods. Lepidosirenidae is monophyletic in almost all analyses, Protopterus is monophyletic in each analysis, and Protopterus annectens and Protopterus aethiopicus are sister taxa in every analysis. The phylogenetic positions of Protopterus dolloi and Protopterus amphibius are incongruent in many of the analyses, which indicates that further examination of the skeletal variation and addition of molecular sequences of different genes is needed. Based on the comparative morphological atlas and the phylogenetic analyses, questions of lepidosirenid biogeography, morphological variation within lungfish, and better identification of lungfish fossils can now be investigated in a more rigorous context.<br>text
