Lungfishes are the extant sister group of tetrapods. As such, they are important for the study of evolutionary processes involved in the water to land transition of vertebrates. The evolution of a true neck, that is, the complete separation of the pectoral girdle from the cranium, is one of the most intriguing morphological transitions known among vertebrates. Other salient changes involve new adaptations for terrestrial feeding, which involves both the cranium and its associated musculature…

Diversity of Heads, Jaws, and Cephalic Muscles in Amphibians
TLDR
The knowledge of the diversity and in particular the similarities of amphibian crania and cranial muscles can help to shed light onto the anatomy of the last common ancestor of tetrapods and onto variations in head anatomy and development in amniotes, which include reptiles and mammals.
Sarcopterygian Fishes, the “Lobe-Fins”
TLDR
This chapter will introduce you to groups now known exclusively from fossils such as “dagger-toothed” onychodonts and porolepiforms named so for the special pores in their scales.
Sequence of chondrocranial development in basal anurans—Let’s make a cranium
TLDR
Anuran cartilaginous development differs in at least two crucial traits from other gnathostomes which further supports the urgent need for more developmental investigations among this clade to understand the evolution of cartilage development in vertebrates.
The missing anatomy of the living coelacanth, Latimeria chalumnae (Smith, 1939)
TLDR
The position of Latimeria as a key taxon in the fish-to-tetrapod transition is emphasised by these findings, and the findings have potential to inform research on cranial structure in extinct taxa.
Evolution of the facial musculature in basal ray-finned fishes
TLDR
The facial musculature proved to be extremely informative for the higher-level phylogeny of bony fishes, with significant implications for the knowledge of the musculoskeletal evolution of both derived actinopterygians and lobe-finned fishes (Sarcopterygi).
The origin of orbitotemporal diversity in lepidosaurs: insights from tuatara chondrocranial anatomy
TLDR
The anatomy of the fully formed chondrocranium in Sphenodon punctatus is reexamined and a number of characters, that are absent in other reptiles and were never previously described in S. punctatus are observed.
Morphology of the temporal skull region in tetrapods: research history, functional explanations, and a new comprehensive classification scheme
  • Pascal Abel, I. Werneburg
  • Environmental Science, Biology
    Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society
  • 2021
TLDR
A novel comprehensive classification scheme for the various temporal morphotypes in all Tetrapoda that is independent of phylogeny and previous terminology is introduced that may facilitate morphological comparisons in future studies.
Lung evolution in vertebrates and the water-to-land transition
TLDR
For the first time, lung morphology is investigated in extensive developmental series of key living lunged osteichthyans using synchrotron X-ray microtomography and histology to shed light on the primitive state of vertebrate lungs as unpaired, evolving to be truly paired in the lineage towards the tetrapods.
Skull Sutures and Cranial Mechanics in the Permian Reptile Captorhinus aguti and the Evolution of the Temporal Region in Early Amniotes
TLDR
The sutures in the dermatocranium of the Permian reptile Captorhinus aguti are described in detail to illustrate bone integrity in an early non-fenestrated amniote skull and it is argued that these “weak” areas are prone for the development of temporal openings and may be treated as the possible precursors for infratemporal and supratemporal fenestrae in early amniotes.
Neural crest and the patterning of vertebrate craniofacial muscles
TLDR
This review examines each stage of myogenesis up through the formation of attachments to their skeletal partners, and presents the similarities among developing muscle groups, including comparisons with trunk myogenesis, but emphasizes the morphogenetic processes that are unique to each group and sometimes subsets of muscles within a group.

Comparative pelvic development of the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) and the Australian lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri): conservation and innovation across the fish-tetrapod transition
TLDR
It is hypothesized that the iliac process or ridge present in most tetrapodomorph fish is the precursor to the tetrapOD ilium and that its evolution mimicked its development in modern salamanders.

Ontogeny of the skull of the Australian lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri (Osteichthyes: Dipnoi)
Development of the sensory lines, dermal skull bones, neurocranium, quadrate, mandible and hyoid apparatus of the Holocene Australian lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri is described, beginning at stage…
Muscle development in the shark Scyliorhinus canicula: implications for the evolution of the gnathostome head and paired appendage musculature
TLDR
Analysis of the development of specific muscular units integrating the cephalic and appendicular musculature of the shark model, Scyliorhinus canicula, suggests that head tissues have contributed to the formation of the pectoral appendages in the common ancestor of extant gnathostomes.
Development of the Snout of the Australian Lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri (Krefft, 1870), with Special Reference to Cranial Nerves
TLDR
The results support the hypothesis that lungfish form a ‘primitive’ teleostomate group, closely adjoining Chondrichthyes in many characteristics of the snout formation, but do not support the conclusion that the recent selachian condition is the exceptional ancestral character state of the lungfish snout.
A Comparative Study of Head Development in Mexican Axolotl and Australian Lungfish: Cell Migration, Cell Fate and Morphogenesis
TLDR
The work presented in this thesis shows that although early development may map out the patterns of later development, the differences between axolotl and lungfish head development are not seen until during morphogenesis, which is needed to explain the great variation of head morphology seen in vertebrates today.
Cranial neural crest cell migration in the Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri
TLDR
The results, contrary to those of Kemp, show that cranial neural crest cells do emerge and migrate in the Australian lungfish in the same way as in other vertebrates, forming mandibular, hyoid, and branchial streams.
Early development of the head and pharynx of Neoceratodus with a consideration of its phylogeny
TLDR
It is concluded that Neoceratodus and the amphibian groups share a common derivation from pro-dipnoan-amphibian stock—of crossopterygian ancestry—in the early Devonian, which supports the vie of a monophyletic derivation of the Tetrapoda.
Cranial Muscle Development in the Model Organism Ambystoma mexicanum: Implications for Tetrapod and Vertebrate Comparative and Evolutionary Morphology and Notes on Ontogeny and Phylogeny
TLDR
The first detailed report of the cranial muscle development in axolotl from early ontogenetic stages to the adult stage is provided, and the order in which the muscles appear during axolOTl ontogeny is in general similar to their appearance in phylogeny.
The First Virtual Cranial Endocast of a Lungfish (Sarcopterygii: Dipnoi)
TLDR
This virtual cranial endocast of Rhinodipterus kimberleyensis, from the Late Devonian Gogo Formation of Australia, is one of the most derived fossil dipnoans with a well-ossified braincase and has numerous similarities to the endocasts of Chirodipteru wildungensis and Griphognathus whitei.
