Abstract
Reconstruction of the changes that have occurred during the evolution of the gas exchangers is riddled with pitfalls. This is mainly because of the almost complete lack of instructive fossilized materials, as would be expected, of soft tissues such as the respiratory organs/structures. The precept that “progeny recapitulates phylogeny” is too simple for the discipline of evolutionary developmental biology (evo–devo) to be directly extrapolated in studies of the paleobiology of respiration (e.g., Northcutt 1990). For example, during their development (metamorphosis), amphibians undergo drastic changes in the form, location, and function of the gas exchangers (Sect. 5.4.1). The transformations cannot be predicted from one level of development to another. Moreover, respiration appears to be too important for perpetuation of “primitive” features from one evolutionary level to another.
