Phylogeny of Physarida (Amoebozoa, Myxogastria) Based on the Small‐Subunit Ribosomal RNA Gene, Redefinition of Physarum pusillum s. str. and Reinstatement of P. gravidum Morgan

open access: yesJournal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 327-336, May/June 2020., 2020
Abstract Myxomycetes (also called Myxogastria or colloquially, slime molds) are worldwide occurring soil amoeboflagellates. Among Amoebozoa, they have the notable characteristic to form, during their life cycle, macroscopic fruiting bodies, that will ultimately release spores.

Life Cycles of Myxogastria Stemonitopsis typhina and Stemonitis fusca on Agar Culture

open access: yesJournal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 66-75, January/February 2020., 2020
Abstract Myxogastria is a group of protozoa characterized by cellular uninucleate amoeboflagellates (myxamoebae and flagellated swarm cell), acellular multinucleate plasmodia, and stationary spore‐bearing sporocarps. The Stemonitales is a large order in the Myxogastria and contains approximately 230 species, but only 13 species have their completed ...

Slime moulds occurring in the Bukowiec reserve (W Carpathians) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Two-year studies on the diversity and occurrence of slime moulds in the Bukowiec forest reserve (Pogórze Wiśnickie Region) were undertaken. 31 taxa of slime moulds found are listed.

Some observations of slime moulds on wood and litter of beech forests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The results of research into slime moulds in beech forest reserves in Central Poland are discussed. Thirty species of slime moulds directly associated with beech wood and beech litter were recorded. Species associated with different decay phases of beech

Adaptive behavior and learning in slime moulds: the role of oscillations

open access: yes, 2021
International audienceThe slime mould Physarum polycephalum, an aneural organism, uses information from previous experiences to adjust its behaviour, but the mechanisms by which this is accomplished remain unknown. This article examines the possible role

Behavioural variation of acellular slime moulds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Protists are represented in every biome and have a diverse range of ecosystem roles.However, protists are severely under-represented in the scientific literature with fewstudies on how their diversity or behaviour affects ecosystem functioning. One group

Revisions to the Classification, Nomenclature, and Diversity of Eukaryotes

open access: yesJournal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 4-119, January/February 2019., 2019
Abstract This revision of the classification of eukaryotes follows that of Adl et al., 2012 [J. Euk. Microbiol. 59(5)] and retains an emphasis on protists. Changes since have improved the resolution of many nodes in phylogenetic analyses. For some clades even families are being clearly resolved.

A Bio‐Inspired Method for the Constrained Shortest Path Problem

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
The constrained shortest path (CSP) problem has been widely used in transportation optimization, crew scheduling, network routing and so on. It is an open issue since it is a NP‐hard problem. In this paper, we propose an innovative method which is based on the internal mechanism of the adaptive amoeba algorithm.

An Improved Physarum polycephalum Algorithm for the Shortest Path Problem

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Shortest path is among classical problems of computer science. The problems are solved by hundreds of algorithms, silicon computing architectures and novel substrate, unconventional, computing devices. Acellular slime mould P. polycephalum is originally famous as a computing biological substrate due to its alleged ability to approximate shortest path ...
