Continual decision‐making dynamics across biological organisms

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1059-1072, June 2026.
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.

A Biophysical Approach to the Design of Networks of Communication Systems

open access: yesMathematical 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.

Fast and Slow Signal Propagation in Abiotic Polypeptide Assemblies

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 6, 27 March 2026.
Proteinoid microspheres formed by thermal polymerization of amino acids exhibit spontaneous electrical potential fluctuations without genetic material, membranes, or ion channels. Multi‐electrode recordings and electron microscopy reveal composition‐dependent voltage oscillations, long‐term drifts, and correlated signals across electrodes.

Slime Mould Games Based on Rough Set Theory

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, 2018
We define games on the medium of plasmodia of slime mould, unicellular organisms that look like giant amoebae. The plasmodia try to occupy all the food pieces they can detect. Thus, two different plasmodia can compete with each other.

Mycelial dynamics in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

open access: yesNew 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.
