TL;DR: The airway system of the two frog species studied is innervated by a parasympathetic NANC system and it is suggested that nNOS-positive and leu-enkephalin-positive neurons mediate vasodilation via the release of NO, but the nature of the NANC innervation remains obscure.

TL;DR: Mudskippers have many morphological adaptations that enable them to cope with the different conditions encountered in and between aquatic and terrestrial habitats as mentioned in this paper, which is challenging especially for fishes with a body plan suitable for the aquatic medium.

Bombesin‐like Immunoreactivity in the Gastrointestinal Tract of Some Lower Vertebratesa
Grazia Tagliafierro,Giacomo Zaccone,Elisabetta Bonini,Gabriella Faraldi,Luisella Farina,Salvatore Fasulo,Giuseppe G. Rossi +6 more
TL;DR: Comparative immunocytochemical investigations about the presence of bombesin-like peptide(s) in the GIT of two cartilaginous fishes, one lungfish, and two amphybian urodeles are described and discussed, and the coexistence of bombsin with serotonin (SHT) is tested for.

Immunolocalization of neurotransmitter-synthesizing enzymes and neuropeptides with associated receptors in the photophores of the hatchetfish, Argyropelecus hemigymnus Cocco, 1829.
TL;DR: It appears that the neuropeptide-containing nerves demonstrated in this study may be sensory, as they displayed immunoreactivities for pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide and their receptors R-12 and 93093-3.

Daniele Zaccone,Adrian C. Grimes,Alessandra Sfacteria,Marta Jaroszewska,Giuseppa Caristina,M. Manganaro,Anthony P. Farrell,Giacomo Zaccone,Konrad Dabrowski,Fabio Marino +9 more
TL;DR: The present data show that the patterns of autonomic innervation of the garfish conus arteriosus are more complex than previously appreciated.
