Lepidosiren
Definition:
(n.) An eel-shaped ganoid fish of the order Dipnoi, having both gills and lungs. It inhabits the rivers of South America. The name is also applied to a related African species (Protopterus annectens). The lepidosirens grow to a length of from four to six feet. Called also doko.
Example Sentences:
(1) The feeding mechanism of the South American lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa retains many primitive teleostome characteristics.
(2) On the basis of melanophore morphology, Lepidosiren and Protopterus appear to be more closely related to each other than to Neoceratodus.
(3) The cell types in the adenohypophysis of Neoceratodus resemble closely those already described for Lepidosiren and Protopterus.
(4) The integumental melanophores of two genera of lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa and Protopterus sp.
(5) Lepidosiren also possesses four key morphological and functional specializations of the feeding mechanism: 1) tooth plates, 2) an enlarged cranial rib serving as a site for the origin of muscles depressing the hyoid apparatus, 3) a depressor mandibulae muscle, apparently not homologous to that of amphibians, and 4) a complex sequence of manipulation and chewing of prey in the oral cavity prior to swallowing.
(6) Lepidosiren uses hydraulic transport achieved by movements of the hyoid apparatus to position prey within the oral cavity.
(7) This extended data set tends to group the two lepidosirenid lungfish lineages (Lepidosiren and Protopterus) with Neoceratodus as their sister group.
(8) The properties of fructose diphosphatase from liver of South American lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa) were examined.
(9) The presence of lutropin (LH)-like material in the pituitary gland of the South-American lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa, has been demonstrated by means of the unlabeled antibody-enzyme method, by use of rabbit anti-ovine LH as first antibody.
(10) Myelin proteins from the CNS of recent lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa, Protopterus dolloi, Neoceratodus forsteri) were separated and analysed by staining and immunoblotting.
(11) In the South American lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa, injections of salmon calcitonin or bovine parathyroid extract have no effect on serum calcium levels.
(12) The identical size of g-PLPs from Lepidosiren and Protopterus (Mr = 29,000) underlines the close relationship of the Lepidosirenidae.
(13) Comparison of the alcohols suggest that (a) Latimeria stands biochemically outside the animal group which includes the Dipnoi, (b) Protopterus and Lepidosiren are more closely related to one another than either is to Neoceratodus, (c) all four primitive osteiychtheans have some amphibian affinities, (d) there are affinities between Latimeria and Dipnoi and ostariophysan families (especially Cyprinidae and Catostomidae) and (e) there are biochemical links between Dipnoi and lampreys.
(14) The ventricular sulcal pattern and the cellular structure of the brain stem of the lungfish Lepidosiren paradoxa have been studied in transversely cut Nissl and Bodian stained sections.
(15) The paraventricular organ is not differentiated in the lungfish (Lepidosiren) and the caecilian (Typhlonectes).
(16) The presence and function of tachykinins were studied in the intestine of hagfish (Myxine glutinosa), lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis), starry ray (Raja radiata), lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa), bichir (Polypterus senegalensis), and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), which represent different systematic groups of fish.
(17) Autoradiographic and silver methods indicate that the African and South American lungfishes, Protopterus and Lepidosiren, lack ipsilateral retinal projections.
(18) The origins of descending spinal projections in the lepidosirenid lungfishes were identified by retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) introduced into the rostral spinal cords of juvenile African (Protopterus annectans and Protopterus amphibians) and South American (Lepidosiren paradoxa) lungfishes.
(19) These observations indicate that dipnoans (Lepidosiren) share a number of antigenic determinants with those of mammalian LH beta and support the concept that mammalian LH beta, or part of it, was established early in evolution.
(20) The malate-aspartate cycle was demonstrable in subcellular preparations of hearts from Arapaima, Lepidosiren, and Synbranchus (obligate air breathers), Hoplerythriunus (facultative air breather), and Osteoglossum and Hoplias (obligate water breathers).
