Evolution of multicellularity in Dictyostelia [PDF]
The well-orchestrated multicellular life cycle of Dictyostelium discoideum has fascinated biologists for over a century. Self-organisation of its amoebas into aggregates, migrating slugs and fruiting structures by pulsatile cAMP signalling and their ...

Two-gene phylogeny of bright-spored Myxomycetes (slime moulds, superorder Lucisporidia). [PDF]
Myxomycetes, or plasmodial slime-moulds, are one of the largest groups in phylum Amoebozoa. Nonetheless, only ∼10% are in the database for the small subunit (SSU) ribosomal RNA gene, the most widely used gene for phylogenetics and barcoding.

Evolution of microRNAs in Amoebozoa and implications for the origin of multicellularity. [PDF]
Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important and ubiquitous regulators of gene expression in both plants and animals. They are thought to have evolved convergently in these lineages and hypothesized to have played a role in the evolution of multicellularity.

Encystation:the most prevalent and underinvestigated differentiation pathway of eukaryotes [PDF]
Not long ago, protists were considered one of four eukaryote kingdoms, but recent gene-based phylogenies show that they contribute to all nine eukaryote subdomains.

Myxomycete diversity in the coastal desert of Peru with emphasis on the lomas formations
Results obtained from the first survey for myxomycetes in the hyperarid areas of Peru are reported. Sampling over three consecutive years was carried out at 96 localities between 0 and 1500 m elevation.

Did terrestrial diversification of amoebas (amoebozoa) occur in synchrony with land plants? [PDF]
Evolution of lineage diversification through time is an active area of research where much progress has been made in the last decade. Contrary to the situation in animals and plants little is known about how diversification rates have evolved in most ...

Mixomicetes asociados con Avicennia germinans y Laguncularia racemosa en un manglar de El Salvador
Los estudios de mixomicetes en ecosistemas de manglar no son comunes; principalmente se han llevado a cabo en Brasil. En esta investigación, se realizó el primer muestreo de mixomicetes asociados a dos especies de plantas de manglar en El Salvador, y ...
