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.

Substrate and cell fusion influence on slime mold network dynamics
Scientific Reports, 2021 The acellular slime mold Physarum polycephalum provides an excellent model to study network formation, as its network is remodelled constantly in response to mass gain/loss and environmental conditions.

Past and Ongoing Field-Based Studies of Myxomycetes
Microorganisms, 2023 Evidence from molecular studies indicates that myxomycetes (also called myxogastrids or plasmodial slime molds) have a long evolutionary history, and the oldest known fossil is from the mid-Cretaceous. However, they were not “discovered” until 1654, when

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

Origin and evolution of the slime molds (Mycetozoa) [PDF]
, 1997 The Mycetozoa include the cellular (dictyostelid), acellular (myxogastrid), and protostelid slime molds. However, available molecular data are in disagreement on both the monophyly and phylogenetic position of the group.

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
