This chapter discusses the adaptations of myxomycetes relating to spore dispersal, which is
the key to understanding distribution patterns in this group of protists. Although several …

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 …

Abstract Aim Lowland/highland and Neotropical/Asian Palaeotropical assemblages of
myxomycetes were compared to test the null hypothesis that neither species diversity nor …

In this chapter, the results obtained from recent studies of myxomycete ecology are
discussed, with special emphasis on their distribution patterns in particular habitats, the …

To compare morphological and molecular diversity for lignicolous myxomycetes, DNA
samples of all specimens found within a survey covering the late-autumn aspect of …

The myxomycetes (plasmodial slime molds or myxogastrids) are a group of fungus-like
organisms usually present and sometimes abundant in terrestrial ecosystems. The exact …

In terms of their flora and fauna, tropical forests are generally reported to be characterized by
higher species diversity than temperate forests. Can this also be true for microorganisms …

Aim The objective of this study was to analyse the data represented by 1976 specimens of
myxomycetes collected in high‐latitude regions of the Northern Hemisphere to obtain …

A number of recent studies have been directed towards developing a more complete
understanding of myxomycete ecology throughout the world. However, the lack of …

Myxomycetes (plasmodial slime molds or myxogastria) are a group of amoeboid protists
occurring throughout the world; they have the highest diversity documented in terrestrial …
