Beyond single cells: Ten years of commercial lattice light‐sheet microscopy
Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Lattice light‐sheet microscopy (LLSM) enables gentle, rapid, volumetric fluorescence imaging of living biological systems. The technique employs Bessel beam interference to produce a light‐sheet which retains its thickness over a relatively large field‐of‐view compared to other light‐sheets.

Introduction to the "Slime Molds"
This educational page introduces the three main groups of slime molds: plasmodial slime molds, cellular slime molds, and Labyrinthulomycota. It offers a description of each and discusses their life cycle. Hosted by the Museum of Paleontology, links are

The American Biology Teacher, 1982 The plasmodial slime molds, or Myxomycetes, are a small (about 450 known species), rather insignificant, but widely distributed group of organisms having characteristics of both plants and animals. They produce fruiting bodies and spores similar to those of many fungi.

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The fatty acid composition of fish is influenced by species, age, diet, and tissues, which respond differently to dietary lipids. This study examined how two commercial diets with contrasting polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) profiles, affecting eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), alter the fatty acid composition in ...

Principles of minimal cognition in smart slime molds and social bacteria
Pensamiento. Revista de Investigación e Información Filosófica, 2013 The perception of the environment as well as sensorimotor coordination of unicellularsorganisms competence as the foundation of a cognitive principle that goes beyond minimum metabolicprocesses. I study the recognition of the environment in case of slime

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract The genus Merismopedia (Merismopediaceae, Chroococcales), characterized by rectangular colonies with cells arranged in regular perpendicular rows and columns, represents a challenging study system due to its limited cultivability. The genus recently underwent taxonomic revision using cultivation‐independent techniques and a polyphasic approach.

Convergent Reproductive Governance and the Normalization of Caesarean Birth in Northern Thailand
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Caesarean section (C‐section) rates in Thailand have nearly doubled over the past two decades, a trend often attributed to women's preferences, convenience, or advanced maternal age. Drawing on ethnographic research in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand, this article argues that such explanations are insufficient. I show that rising C‐section rates
