Substrate Affinities of Slime Moulds (Eumycetozoa) and Their Potential as Indicators of Forest Microhabitat Conditions [PDF]
PeerJBackground 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 ...

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

Functional Ecological Role of Slime Moulds (Eumycetozoa) in Forest Biodiversity and Conservation
Global Ecology and ConservationForest 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

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 6, Page 2188-2209, December 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Multicellularity evolved multiple times in the history of life, with most reviewers agreeing that it appeared at least 20 times in eukaryotes. However, a specific list of multicellular eukaryotes with clear criteria for inclusion has not yet been published.
