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.

First Record of Slime Molds in Biebrza National Park (NE Poland)
Acta Mycologica, 2021 This paper provides the first recorded data of slime molds in Biebrza National Park (NE Poland). In total, 16 species of myxomycetes belonging to nine genera were observed.

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

eLife, 2022 In multicellular organisms, the specification, coordination, and compartmentalization of cell types enable the formation of complex body plans. However, some eukaryotic protists such as slime molds generate diverse and complex structures while remaining ...

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.

Cell Sorting daring Pattern Formation in Dictyostelium [PDF]
, 1981 Formation of the prestalk-prespore pattern in Dictyostelium was investigated in slugs and submerged clumps of cells. Prestalk and prespore cells were identified by staining with vital dyes, which are shown to be stable cell markers.
