Robust rhythm reporting will advance ecological and evolutionary research
Abstract Rhythmicity in the millisecond to second range is a fundamental building block of communication and coordinated movement. But how widespread are rhythmic capacities across species, and how did they evolve under different environmental pressures?

A Physarum-Inspired Decision-Making Strategy for Multisource Task Searching of Mobile Robots
In the real world, there are many different kinds of sources, such as light, sound, and gas, distributed randomly over an area. Source search can be carried out by robotic system in applications.

Slime mold on the rise: the physics of Physarum polycephalum
The slime mold Physarum polycephalum has long been used as a model system for the study of motility, cell cycle, differentiation, and other cell biological topics.

Pruning to Increase Taylor Dispersion in Physarum polycephalum Networks. [PDF]
How do the topology and geometry of a tubular network affect the spread of particles within fluid flows? We investigate patterns of effective dispersion in the hierarchical, biological transport network formed by Physarum polycephalum.

Orbiting Self‐Organization of Filament‐Tethered Surface‐Active Droplets
Out‐of‐equilibrium self‐organization is demonstrated by interconnected source and drain droplets at an air‐water interface. While self‐assembled filaments grow from the source droplet, a hydrolysis reaction generates a concentration gradient around the drain droplet, which destabilizes filaments approaching the drain from behind.

Towards a Stationary Monge-Kantorovich Dynamics: The Physarum Polycephalum Experience [PDF]
In this work we propose an extension to the continuous setting of a model describing the dynamics of slime mold, Physarum Polycephalum (PP), which was proposed to simulate the ability of PP to find the shortest path connecting two food sources in a maze.

Approaching transglutaminase from Streptomyces bacteria over three decades
The review focuses on microbial transglutaminases to highlight the current state of knowledge in catalysis. Reassessment of available data suggests self‐assembly of the substrate proteins, with glutamine and lysine residues arranged in pairs to be cross‐linked by transglutaminase.

Sociability as a personality trait in animals: methods, causes and consequences
ABSTRACT Within animal populations there is variation among individuals in their tendency to be social, where more sociable individuals associate more with other individuals. Consistent inter‐individual variation in ‘sociability’ is considered one of the major axes of personality variation in animals along with aggressiveness, activity, exploration and

Abstract Myxomycetes are terrestrial protists with many presumably cosmopolitan species dispersing via airborne spores. A truly cosmopolitan species would suffer from outbreeding depression hampering local adaptation, while locally adapted species with limited distribution would be at a higher risk of extinction in changing environments.

Tumor Detection on Microarray Data Using Grey Wolf Optimization with Gain Information
Microarray data are becoming a more essential source of gene expression data for interpretation and analysis. To improve the detection accuracy of tumors, the researchers try to use the lowest feasible collection of the most gene expression studies, and relevant gene expression patterns are found.
