Myxomycetes
Myxomycetes: Biology, Systematics, Biogeography and Ecology, Second Edition provides a complete collection of general and technical information on myxomycetes microorganisms. Its broad scope takes an integrated approach, considering a number of important aspects surrounding their genetics and molecular phylogeny. The book treats myxomycetes as a distinct group from fungi and includes molecular information that discusses systematics and evolutionary pathways. Written and developed by an international team of specialists, this second edition contains updated information on all aspects of myxomycetes. It incorporates relevant and new material on current barcoding developments, plasmodial networ...
Secretive Slime Moulds
Neither plants, nor animals, nor fungi, the myxomycetes are a surprisingly diverse and fascinating group of organisms. They spend the majority of their life out of sight as single-celled amoeboid individuals in leaf litter, soil or decaying wood, foraging for bacteria and other simple life forms. However, when conditions are right, two individual cells come together to give rise to a much larger, creeping structure called a plasmodium, which produces the even more complex and often beautiful fruiting bodies. Indeed, the fruiting bodies of myxomycetes are often miniature works of art! Their small size (usually only a few millimetres tall) and fleeting fruiting phase mean that these organisms,...
Myxomycetes
This book identifies all the species one is likely to encounter, with extensive information on their structural features, distribution, and ecological associations. Superbly illustrated, including keys, it is an introduction to their biology as well as a field guide. This book is only available through print on demand. All interior art is black and white.
The Myxomycetes of Britain and Ireland
A classic work and the first to comprehensively study this interesting life form, which has an important role in decomposing plant material. Myxomycetes (slime moulds) were once considered a special group of fungi. However they are now grouped within Amoebozoa as unicellular protists that adopt a multicellular aggregate form in certain conditions. Introductory chapters cover life-history, structure, ecology, distribution, how to find and collect material, bark culture techniques, microscopic examination, and herbarium storage of ‘slime-moulds’. The detailed accounts cover identification, keys, descriptions and illustrations. They also include notes on differences from other similar species. This is a reprint of the enlarged 2020 edition with a 20-page supplement including new species, together with 54 colour photos. It is a guide to the British and Irish species, including keys, descriptions, and illustrations showing the diagnostic features along with introductory chapters on life history, structure, ecology and distribution, collecting, techniques, and preservation.
Myxomycetes
Myxomycetes: Biology, Systematics, Biogeography, and Ecology is a comprehensive overview of the body of accumulated knowledge that now exists on myxomycetes. Its broad scope takes an integrated approach to the knowledge of this organismal group, considering a number of important aspects of their genetics and molecular phylogeny. It also treats myxomycetes as a distinct group from fungi, and includes molecular information that discusses the systematics and evolutionary pathways of the group. Additionally, biomedical and engineering applicability is discussed, thus expanding the audience and use of the book in a multidisciplinary context. The book provides an authoritative resource for student...
The North American Slime-Moulds
In "The North American Slime-Moulds," Thomas H. Macbride presents a meticulous exploration of these fascinating organisms, characterized by their unique life cycles and ecological significance. Written in the early 20th century, Macbride's work combines rigorous scientific observation with lyrical prose, making the intricate details of slime-mould biology accessible to both scientific and lay audiences. This treatise serves not just as a taxonomic account but also as an invitation to appreciate the complex interplay of these organisms within their environments, reflecting the burgeoning interest in mycology and biodiversity at the time. Thomas H. Macbride, an eminent botanist and professor a...
