Biological machines and the mechanization of life [PDF]
During its long history from antique hand-operated instruments to modern information processing automata the notion of the machine has several times received a shift in meaning.

Spore Dispersal of Slime Molds and Higher Fungi via Animal Vectors [PDF]
Myxomycetes and dictyostelids are Amoebozoans that are cosmopolitan inhabitants of a variety of habitats, particularly forest environments. Both groups reproduce using spores which are primarily dispersed via wind in myxomycetes but this characteristic ...

Response of micro-eukaryote and slime mould communities to land use change and pine invasion in Aotearoa [PDF]
Soil micro-eukaryotes are a highly diverse group that drive key biogeochemical cycles and regulate the communities of other soil microorganisms, yet their responses to ecosystem changes in Aotearoa New Zealand are unknown. Micro-eukaryote communities are

Analysis of the volatiles in the headspace above the plasmodium and sporangia of the slime mould (Physarum polycephalum) by SPME-GCMS [PDF]
Solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) coupled with Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to extract and analyse the volatiles in the headspace above the plasmodial and sporulating stages of the slime mould Physarum Polycephalum.

Morphological stasis in the first myxomycete from the Mesozoic, and the likely role of cryptobiosis [PDF]
Myxomycetes constitute a group within the Amoebozoa well known for their motile plasmodia and morphologically complex fruiting bodies. One obstacle hindering studies of myxomycete evolution is that their fossils are exceedingly rare, so evolutionary ...

A proposed role for the Ca ion in the chemotactic response of Physarum polycephalum [PDF]
Bibliography: pages 107-111.Durham, in a review published in 1974, presented the following hypotheses concerning the factors that control amoeboid movement: (1) actin and myosin are present in all cells that exhibit amoeboid movement and, changes in the ...

Drawing Out the Superorganism: Artistic Intervention and the Amplification of Processes of Life [PDF]
The true slime mould, Physarum polycephalum, is a single-celled organism which spends much of its life creeping around the forest floor feeding on rotting vegetation.

Shifts in Myxomycete Community Structure in Selected Microhabitats Across Nutrient Treatments in a Lowland Tropical Forest of Panama [PDF]
Myxomycetes (plasmodial slime molds) are abundant amoeboid predators of bacteria and other microorganisms. They are found worldwide, largely in association with decaying plant material in terrestrial habitats.

Diversity of Plasmodial Myxomycetes from Anda Island, Pangasinan, Philippines [PDF]
The unique life cycle and fascinating fruiting bodies of myxomycetes make them ideal model organisms for the study of cellular differentiation. Our research study then focuses on the diversity and abundance of myxomycetes found in Anda Island, Pangasinan
