Eumycetozoa = Amoebozoa?: SSUrDNA Phylogeny of Protosteloid Slime Molds and Its Significance for the Amoebozoan Supergroup [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
Amoebae that make fruiting bodies consisting of a stalk and spores and classified as closely related to the myxogastrids have classically been placed in the taxon Eumycetozoa.

Substrate affinities of slime moulds (Eumycetozoa) and their potential as indicators of forest microhabitat conditions [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Slime moulds (Eumycetozoa) inhabit moisture-buffered microhabitats such as bark, dead wood, bryophyte mats and litter. Their assemblages are expected to track fine-scale forest structure and may therefore provide tractable signals for ...

Georeferenced checklist and occurrence dataset of slime moulds (Eumycetozoa) across Central and Eastern Europe emphasising forest ecosystems [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
A continental-scale, georeferenced checklist of slime moulds (Eumycetozoa) for Central and Eastern Europe, supplemented with standardised environmental covariates and with a particular emphasis on forest ecosystems, has not previously been available. The

First records of myxomycetes (Amebozoa, Eumycetozoa) in cave in Central Brazil [PDF]

Subterranean Biology
More than 26,000 caves occur in the extensive Brazilian territory, distributed across the country’s five geopolitical regions. Some of these caves have been studied for the biodiversity they harbor; however, many groups of organisms are neglected, as is ...

Functional ecological role of slime moulds (Eumycetozoa) in forest biodiversity and conservation

Global Ecology and Conservation
Forest ecosystems derive much of their stability from the efficiency of detrital pathways, yet the functional roles of slime moulds (Eumycetozoa) in forest detrital food webs remain poorly synthesised and are rarely incorporated into forest management or

Dataset of barcoded Reticulariaceae: ten years of DNA sequencing [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
As a result of the ten years (2012–2022) work under the critical revision of the genera of Reticulariaceae, a set of papers was published. Collection data of hundreds of specimens, used as a material for these studies, were provided as supplements of ...

Life cycle strategies in free-living unicellular eukaryotes: Diversity, evolution, and current molecular tools to unravel the private life of microorganisms. [PDF]

J Eukaryot Microbiol
Abstract An astonishing range of morphologies and life strategies has arisen across the vast diversity of protists, allowing them to thrive in most environments. In model protists, like Tetrahymena, Dictyostelium, or Trypanosoma, life cycles involving multiple life stages with different morphologies have been well characterized.

The Ribosomal Operon Database: A Full-Length rDNA Operon Database Derived From Genome Assemblies. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Current rDNA reference sequence databases are tailored towards shorter DNA markers, such as parts of the 16/18S marker or the internally transcribed spacer (ITS) region. However, due to advances in long‐read DNA sequencing technologies, longer stretches of the rDNA operon are increasingly used in environmental sequencing studies to increase ...

First records of Protosteloid Amoebae (Eumycetozoa) from the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2014
Background – The first records of Protosteloid Amoebae in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are discussed in the present paper. This survey on Protosteloid Amoebae is the first from Central Africa; the previous records for the African continent were restricted to Egypt, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania and Uganda.

Revisions to the Classification, Nomenclature, and Diversity of Eukaryotes. [PDF]

J Eukaryot Microbiol, 2019
Abstract This revision of the classification of eukaryotes follows that of Adl et al., 2012 [J. Euk. Microbiol. 59(5)] and retains an emphasis on protists. Changes since have improved the resolution of many nodes in phylogenetic analyses. For some clades even families are being clearly resolved.
