BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012 Background Physarales represents the largest taxonomic order among the plasmodial slime molds (myxomycetes). Physarales is of particular interest since the two best-studied myxomycete species, Physarum polycephalum and Didymium iridis, belong to this ...

Transcriptomic changes arising during light-induced sporulation in
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Physarum polycephalum is a free-living amoebozoan protist displaying a complex life cycle, including alternation between single- and multinucleate stages through sporulation, a simple form of cell differentiation.

Continual decision‐making dynamics across biological organisms
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Decision‐making is a central function of adaptive behaviour in biological agents. However, strategies for adaptive decision‐making can vary substantially across species. Here, we aim to extend the comparative scope of decision‐making analyses to phylogenetically diverse organisms.

Studia Humana, 2016 The paper considers main features of two groups of logics for biological devices, called Physarum Chips, based on the plasmodium. Let us recall that the plasmodium is a single cell with many diploid nuclei.

A Biophysical Approach to the Design of Networks of Communication Systems
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 4539-4547, 30 March 2026.ABSTRACT Inspired by the growth dynamics of the protist Physarum polycephalum, we employ a formalism that describes adaptive, incompressible Hagen‐Poiseuille flows on channel networks to identify graphs connecting different nodes within Euclidean space. These graphs are either suboptimal or optimal relative to their length.

Mycelial dynamics in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 691-713, January 2026.Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), similar to other filamentous fungi, develop extensive hyphal networks collectively known as mycelia. AMF mycelia are complemented by a variety of specialized structures such as spores, vesicles, and auxiliary cells, which together form integrated and functionally diverse AMF networks.

Engineering Reports, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2025.This study investigates human‐aware optimization in manufacturing and logistics using the ARCH model (2014–2024), focusing on China. It highlights how adaptive technologies and predictive analytics can enhance human–machine collaboration, reduce cognitive burden, and improve operational efficiency in digitally transforming industries.

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 12, December 2025.Using image analysis to track the development of fungal networks in the presence of predators, we found that even in modular organisms, plasticity is more nuanced and limited than previously assumed. Our results challenge the long‐held notion that a modular body plan necessarily confers extreme plasticity.

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.A study of the diversity of myxomycetes associated with remote islands in the Indian Ocean. ABSTRACT Myxomycetes are a widespread group of organisms but, given their inconspicuousness and the specialist knowledge needed to culture and identify them, there are many regions of the world where they have never been studied.
