Expression of a novel surfactant protein gene is associated with sites of extrapulmonary respiration in a lungless salamander

Numerous physiological and morphological adaptations were achieved during the transition to lungless respiration that accompanied evolutionary lung loss in plethodontid salamanders, including those that enable efficient gas exchange across extrapulmonary tissue. However, the molecular basis of these...
