Functional ecological role of slime moulds (Eumycetozoa) in forest biodiversity and conservation
Global Ecology and ConservationForest ecosystems derive much of their stability from the efficiency of detrital pathways, yet the functional roles of slime moulds (Eumycetozoa) in forest detrital food webs remain poorly synthesised and are rarely incorporated into forest management or

A Bio‐Inspired Method for the Constrained Shortest Path Problem
The 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.

A Non‐Flagellated Member of the Myxogastria and Expansion of the Echinosteliida
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2018 Myxogastria (also called Myxomycetes or plasmodial slime‐moulds) are mostly known through their usually conspicuous fruiting bodies. Another unifying trait is the presence of a facultative flagellate stage along with the obligate amoeboid stage.

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

P‐bRS: A Physarum‐Based Routing Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Routing in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is an extremely challenging issue due to the features of WSNs. Inspired by the large and single‐celled amoeboid organism, slime mold Physarum polycephalum, we establish a novel selecting next hop model (SNH).

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 221-240, 2012., 2012 The slime mould Physarumpolycephalum is a suitable candidate organism for soft‐matter robotics because it exhibits controllable transport, movement and guidance behaviour. Physarum may be considered as a smart computing and actuating material since both its motor and control systems are distributed within its undifferentiated tissue and can survive ...

An inexpensive moist chamber culture technique for finding microbiota on live tree bark
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 12, Issue 2, March-April 2024.Abstract Premise Traditional moist chamber cultures (MCs) prepared in aseptic laboratory environments using sterile Petri dishes are commonly used to quantify the microbiota of rough‐bark tree species and woody vines. MCs are typically expensive and may be difficult to make, so a less expensive option made from easily available supplies was developed ...

Recent records of myxomycetes from New Brunswick, Canada
Canadian field-naturalistStudies of the diversity of myxomycetes or plasmodial slime moulds (Amoebozoa) in New Brunswick are lagging behind those of many other groups of terrestrial organisms. Here, we summarize the myxomycetes of the province as documented by recently collected

Myxomycetes occurring on selected agricultural leaf litters
, 2017 Although studies of myxomycetes (plasmodial slime moulds) in the Asia Pacific region have been remarkable for the past years, studies about myxomycetes assemblages in association with homogenous vegetation are relatively few.
