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 ...

Biodiversity of plasmodial slime moulds (Myxogastria): measurement and interpretation
Protistology, 2000 For myxomycetes the understanding of their diversity and of their ecological function remains underdeveloped. Various problems in recording myxomycetes and analysis of their diversity are discussed by the examples taken from tundra, boreal, and arid areas of Russia and Kazakhstan.

Abstract Larger body size often enhances survival and reproduction. While most organisms grow to achieve larger sizes, some can rapidly increase size through fusion. Fusion decisions are influenced by genetic relatedness and environmental factors, balancing potential benefits and costs.
