The state of health of the river lamprey Lampetra fluviatilis (L.) from Lake Dabie compared to the pathogens hitherto found in this host.

The Sea Lamprey Petromyzon Marinus (l.), River Lamprey Lampetra Fluviatilis (l.) and Brook Lamprey Lampetra Planeri (bloch) in Ireland: General Biology, Ecology, Distribution and Status with Recommendations for Conservation

Three lamprey species occur in Ireland: sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus (L.), river lamprey, Lampetra fluviatilis (L.) and brook lamprey, Lampetra planeri (Bloch). All three species are listed under Annex II of the EU Habitats Directive (Directive 92/43/EEC), thereby requiring member states to designate Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) for their protection. The juvenile or ammocoete stages ...

Contrasting population genetic structure among freshwater-resident and anadromous lampreys: the role of demographic history, differential dispersal and anthropogenic barriers to movement

The tendency of many species to abandon migration remains a poorly understood aspect of evolutionary biology that may play an important role in promoting species radiation by both allopatric and sympatric mechanisms. Anadromy inherently offers an opportunity for the colonization of freshwater environments, and the shift from an anadromous to a wholly freshwater life history has occurred in many...

Fine structure of egg envelopes and the activation changes of cortical alveoli in the river lamprey, Lampetra fluviatilis.

The spinal 5-HT system contributes to the generation of fictive locomotion in lamprey.

Activation of NMDA receptors evokes sustained fictive locomotion in the isolated spinal cord of the sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus (P. marinus), but in the river lamprey Lampetra fluviatilis (L. fluviatilis) the ventral root activity is often irregular. A previous study showed that the number of 5-HT immunoreactive fibres, neurones and varicosities are much lower in the spinal cord of L. fluvia...
