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
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 ...

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

Empirical results from the slime mould experiment.
Decreasing latencies to reach a food source as a function of the magnitude of the equal alternatives. X-axis presents the concentration in egg yolk of equal food sources (20, 40, 60, 80 g.L−1).

An Improved Physarum polycephalum Algorithm for the Shortest Path Problem
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 ...
