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 ...

Symmetry breaking and inter-clonal behavioural variability in a slime mould. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2018 Cells are dynamic systems capable of switching from isotropic growth to polarized growth even in the absence of any pre-existing external asymmetry. Here, we study this process of symmetry breaking in the acellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum.

DEPENDENCE OF CELL-TYPE PROPORTIONING AND SORTING ON CELL CYCLE PHASE IN DICTYOSTELIUM DISCOIDEUM [PDF]
, 1984 The relationship between the cell cycle phase of vegetative amoebae and prestalk and prespore differentiation in the slug stage were investigated in the slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum.

The great unifier: form and the unity of the organism [PDF]
, 2017 Organisms possess a special unity that biologists have long recognized and that cries out for explanation. Organs and collectives also have their own related kinds of unity, so what distinguishes the unity of the organism?

Preliminary investigations into the slime moulds (Myxogastria) in the “Bory Tucholskie” National Park [PDF]
, 2016 Field investigations into slime moulds were conducted in the “Bory Tucholskie” National Park in 2014. These were preliminary inventory studies, as research into myxogastria had not been conducted previously in this area. A total of 34 taxa (32 species, 2

Slime moulds in relation to other organisms sharing their microsites [PDF]
, 2004 Slime moulds form a peculiar group of organisms. Their presence is most often noticed thanks to formation of sporangia slightly similar to fungal fruitbodies.
