The morphology of the gills of the freshwater African crab Potamon niloticus (Crustacea: Brachyura: Potamonidae): A scanning and transmission electron microscopic study
(Wiley, 1990)
The gills of the African freshwater crab Potamon niloticus-Ortmann have been investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Potamon has seven pairs of phyllobranchiate gills contained in the branchial ...
Gill structure of a fish from an alkaline lake: effect of short-term exposure to neutral conditions
(Research Press, 1995)
The morphology and morphometry of the gills of Oreochromis alcalicus grahami, a unique ureogenic teleost that lives in the alkaline environment of Lake Magadi, Kenya (pH 10, , temperature 30 – 40 °C) were examined by ...
Adaptations of a tropical swamp worm, alma emini, for subsistence in a H2S-rich habitat: evolution of endosymbiotic bacteria, sulfide metabolizing bodies, and novel processes of elimination of neutralized sulfide complexes
(1998)
The epithelial cell lining of the respiratory groove of Alma emini, an oligochaete glossoscolecid worm that lives in a hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-rich tropical swamp, was investigated by transmission electron microscopy to ...
Morphometries of the avian lung: The structural-functional correlations in the design of the lungs of birds
(ScienceDirect, 1993)
1. Birds present remarkably variable pulmonary morphometric characteristics which closely correspond with factors such as phylogeny, body size, mode of life and habitat. These factors determine the oxygen demands, energetics ...
The morphology of the intestine of the insectivorous horseshoe bat {Rhinolophus hildebrandti, Peters): a scanning electron and light microscopic study
(Wiley, 1994)
The gastrointestinal tract of the horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus hildebrandti (Peters), was studied macroscopically, with the light microscope and with the scanning electron microscope. Macroscopically, the stomach was of the ...
A morphometric analysis of chloride cells in the gills of the teleosts Oreochromis alcalicus and Oreochromis niloticus and a description of presumptive urea-excreting
(1991)
The chloride cells of the teleost gills have structurally and functionally been an
extremely intriguing group of cells. Since they were first described by Keys & Willmer
(1932), the biology of these cells has attracted ...
A study of the morphology of the gills of an extreme alkalinity and hyperosmotic adapted teleost Oreochromis alcalicus grahami (Boulenger) with particular emphasis …
(Springer-Verlag, 1990)
The general gill morphology of Oreochromis alcalicus grahami, a teleost adapted to high salinity and hyperosmosis, is basically similar to that of other teleostean fish. The species has four pairs of gill arches, all of ...
A comparative allometric study of the morphometry of the gills of an alkalinity adapted cichlid fish,Oreochromis alcalicus grahami, of Lake Magadi, Kenya
(Springer, 1996)
A morphometric analysis of the gills ofOreochromis alcalicus grahami has been carried out on specimens from ecologically distinct lagoons and a water-holding tank of Lake Magadi, a highly alkaline salt lake situated in a ...
