Bemis, William E. "Convergent evolution of jaw-opening muscles in lepidosirenid lungfishes and tetrapods." Canadian Journal of Zoology 65, no. 11 (1987): 2814–17. http://dx.doi.org/10.1139/z87-425.

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.

Abstract:

In this study has document a new locality and thus a southern extension of the distribution of the lungfish Lepidosiren paradoxa to the coast of the Entre Rios Province in the lower Paraná River. This finding increases the range of L. paradoxa by approximately 500 km and represents the third southern record of this species on the south of South America. Additionally, as this region has been relatively well sampled both during past decades and currently, I discuss possible reasons why this range extension has been observed only recently.

Abstract:

Abstract Recently, the South American lungfish Lepidosiren paradoxa is being found inside aquaculture ponds, and even though there are a few studies on their parasite fauna, there is still much to be reported. Thus, the objective of this study is to report parasitism by trichodinids in L. paradoxa, as these ciliate protozoa are related to injuries and mortality in fish farming. The lungfish were collected from experimental tanks, had their tegument scraped and the resultant mucus was analyzed under an optical microscope for morphological and morphometrical analyses in Giemsa and silver nitrate stained slides. The species found was identified as Trichodina quelleni. This is the first report of this parasite in L. paradoxa, and the second report in cultivated fish in Brazil.

Abstract:

The present paper reports nuclear DNA content in 30 Neotropical freshwater fish species and summarizes the data on other Neotropical species presented in the literature. Among Neotropical fishes, the nuclear DNA content ranges from 1.04 ± 0.09 pg/nucleus in Corydoras cf. simulatus (2n = 62) to 248.0 pg/nucleus in Lepidosiren paradoxa (2n = 38). A general analysis of the data obtained in the present study for each species showed that DNA measurements were practically constant at the individual level, while significant differences were observed among individuals of the same population. This observation was valid for all species analyzed and was more evident in those species that presented other karyotypic particularities such as sex chromosomes or supernumerary chromosomes. The importance of changes in nuclear DNA content in the evolutionary process of Neotropical fishes is discussed.

Abstract:

Lepidosiren paradoxa (pirambóia) is the single representative of Dipnoan (lungfish) in South America. This species is considered a living fossil, in spite of some reports describing this fish as having a very specialized life style. It aestivates during the dry season, and has developed metabolic adaptations to cope with both flooding and drought. The literature describing its tissue ultra-structure shows high glycogen stored in the muscle, suggesting a strong dependence on anaerobic glycolysis. The present paper reports tissue enzyme levels of LDH, MDH, and CS, and isozymic tissue distribution of LDH, MDH, ADH, PGI, SOD, and PGM of 7 aestivating specimens from Lago do Canteiro in the Amazonas River. Animals were caught while burrowed in mud during the aestivation period. Our findings reveal high anaerobic capacity of both skeletal and heart muscles, even during the aestivation period, when enzymes showed suppressed levels compared to those of non-aestivating animals (data from the literature). Isozymic patterns suggest loss of duplicate condition in most analyzed loci, a characteristic that occurs mainly in higher vertebrate categories. These data indicate that, compared to the fish group, lungfish may be considered advanced, despite retaining primitive morphological characters.

Abstract:

Nitric oxide (NO), exogenously administered or endogenously produced by NO synthase (NOS), is an important regulator of lung ventilation and perfusion in mammals. This study attempts to investigate the evolutionary history of this system in fish and its possible relationship to air breathing. The gas bladder of Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus (air-breathing teleost) and Oncorhynchus mykiss (non-air-breathing teleost) and the lung of Lepidosiren paradoxa (air-breathing dipnoan) all exhibited elevated guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) levels in response to 1 microM sodium nitroprusside. Only the H. unitaeniatus gas bladder responded to 10 microM acetylcholine chloride (ACh) with increased cGMP levels. The ACh response was inhibited by N omega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, which inhibits NOS. These data suggest that although tissues from each species may respond to exogenous NO, only the gas bladder of H. unitaeniatus appears to synthesize NO through NOS. This is the first report of constitutive NOS outside of the central nervous system in a teleost. These results also imply that NOS did not necessarily coevolve with air breathing in fish.
