New mid-Cretaceous cryptic slime mold beetles and the early evolution of Sphindidae (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea) [PDF]
Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny, 2021 The cryptic slime mold beetles, Sphindidae, are a moderately diverse cucujoid beetle family, whose members are obligately tied to slime molds throughout their life.

Chemical compounds from Dictyostelium discoideum repel a plant-parasitic nematode and can protect roots. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Slime mold species in the genus Dictyostelium are considered to have a close relationship with non-parasitic nematodes; they are sympatric in soils and can exhibit interspecific competition for food. We investigated whether this relationship extends to a

Ultra-short-term wind power prediction based on PVMD-ESMA-DELM
Energy Reports, 2022 The non-linearity and non-stationarity of wind power data have brought great challenges to the safe operation of the power system. It is particularly important to effectively improve the accuracy of ultra-short-term prediction of wind power.

An Improved Solution to Generation Scheduling Problem Using Slime Mold Algorithm
Frontiers in Energy Research, 2022 The slime mold algorithm (SMA) is a novel meta-heuristic search that replicates the characteristics of slime mold during oscillation. This is presented in a novel mathematical formulation that employs changeable weights to modify the sequence of both ...

GALVANOTAXIS OF SLIME MOLD [PDF]
Journal of General Physiology, 1951 The plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum reacts to direct current by migration toward the cathode. Cathodal migration was obtained upon a variety of substrata such as baked clay, paper, cellophane, and agar with a current density in the substratum of 1.0 µa./mm.2 Injury was produced by current densities of 8.0 to 12.0 µa./mm.2 The negative galvanotactic

Selective advantage for multicellular replicative strategies: A two-cell example [PDF]
, 2005 This paper develops a quasispecies model where cells can adopt a two-cell survival strategy. Within this strategy, pairs of cells join together, at which point one of the cells sacrifices its own replicative ability for the sake of the other cell.

Fate and regulation of anterior-like cells in Dictyostelium slugs [PDF]
, 1982 A pattern of two tissue types exists in the Dictyostelium slug. Contained within the posterior tissue are anterior-like cells which comprise about 10% of the developing cell mass.

Complex & Intelligent Systems, 2022 The ant colony optimization (ACO) is one efficient approach for solving the travelling salesman problem (TSP). Here, we propose a hybrid algorithm based on state-adaptive slime mold model and fractional-order ant system (SSMFAS) to address the TSP.
