Robust rhythm reporting will advance ecological and evolutionary research

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 1398-1407, June 2023., 2023
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?

Expansion and transformation of the minor spliceosomal system in the slime mold Physarum polycephalum

Current Biology, 2020
Spliceosomal introns interrupt nuclear genes and are removed from RNA transcripts (“spliced”) by machinery called spliceosomes. While the vast majority of spliceosomal introns are removed by the so-called major spliceosome, diverse eukaryotes also ...

Orbiting Self‐Organization of Filament‐Tethered Surface‐Active Droplets

Small, Volume 19, Issue 20, May 17, 2023., 2023
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.

Approaching transglutaminase from Streptomyces bacteria over three decades

The FEBS Journal, Volume 289, Issue 16, Page 4680-4703, August 2022., 2022
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.

Research on Path Planning of Intelligent Inspection Robot in Open-pit Coal Mine Based on Memristor Array and Physarum Polycephalum Algorithm [PDF]

Jisuanji gongcheng
Autonomous mobile robots employ intelligent algorithms for path planning in complex environments. However, the ″memory wall″ problem in traditional computers increases the running time of the algorithms substantially.

Sociability as a personality trait in animals: methods, causes and consequences

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 2, Page 802-816, April 2022., 2022
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

Genetic structure of the protist Physarum albescens (Amoebozoa) revealed by multiple markers and genotyping by sequencing

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 1, Page 372-390, January 2022., 2022
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.

A Rough Set Version of the Go Game on Physarum Machines

EAI Endorsed Transactions on Scalable Information Systems, 2016
We make use of a Physarum machine that is a biological computing device implemented in the plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum and/or Badhamia utricularis which are one-cell organisms able to build complex networks for solving different computational ...
