Myxomycete diversity in a humid montane forest on the eastern slopes of the Peruvian Andes [PDF]
Background – The humid montane forests on the eastern slopes of the Peruvian Andes are known for their high biodiversity and natural resources. While their incredibly rich plant and animal communities are still in the process of being discovered, the ...

Abstract Soil organic matter (SOM) forms along a continuum from individual particles, pores, and aggregates to litter–soil profiles and larger ecosystems such as forests. However, forest management of SOM stocks and the carbon therein requires knowledge on which processes and factors at which scales determine SOM formation from forest biomass.

Abstract Cork oak landscapes are fascinating ecosystems, historically managed for cork extraction. The persistence in this habitat of many hollow veteran trees provides suitable micro‐habitats for saproxylic beetles. We investigated the saproxylic beetle community of two isolated cork oak woodlands of central Italy with different degree of recovery ...

Mobile Robot Path Planning with a Novel Multiobjective Slime Mold Algorithm
In the path planning problem of mobile robot in static complex obstacle environment, the original slime mold algorithm (SMA) has some shortcomings, such as initial solution error and easy to fall into local optimum, which leads to low accuracy of robot path planning.

ABSTRACT Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition. Soil ecologists often operate with functional groups to infer the effects of individual taxa on ecosystem functions and services ...

Co-existence and interaction between myxomycetes and other organisms in shared niches
The ecology of myxomycetes co-existing with the Latridiidae (Coleoptera), bryophytes and ascomycetous, basidiomycetous and anamorphic fungi were studied in Crimea and at different locations on the left bank of Ukraine. Results from the left bank indicate
