A study case of two myxomycete surveys in a fir forest of central Mexico
(2021-07-13)Field collections and laboratory isolation in moist chamber cultures are two complementary techniques widely used to record sporocarps of myxomycetes. The species recorded using either method tend to be different due to ... -
Additions to the myxobiota of Central America
(2014)Given the fact that until recently the myxomycetes were an understudied group in Central America, it is not surprising that the number of new records for most countries is currently increasing at a steady pace. This is ... -
Assemblages of myxomycetes associated with three different substrates affected by forest wildfires
(2021-03-23)Background and aims – In late November and early December of 2016, forest wildfires occurred over portions of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (USA) and more than 4 000 ha were affected. Previous studies have shown ... -
Can the location of the isolation laboratory affect the generation of myxomycete data using moist chambers? An experiment in the Neotropics
(2021-03-11)The moist chamber technique, as it is used in myxomycete research, is an extremely useful method to optimize project resources. However, as it occurs with any laboratory-based protocol, the usefulness of this technique ... -
Comparative analysis on datasets of myxomycetes associated with boreal, temperate and tropical regions of North America
(2020-10)Datasets from boreal (Denali National Park, United States), temperate (Great Smoky Mountains National Park, United States) and tropical (La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica) regions of North America were subjected ... -
First records of myxomycetes from El Salvador
(2013-11-02)Myxomycetes have been studied formally in most of Central America except for El Salvador. Even though this country is the last in the region to begin an official inventory for this group of organisms, the 37 new records ... -
Mixomicetes asociados con Avicennia germinans y Laguncularia racemosa en el manglar del Amatal, El Salvador
(2022)Los estudios de mixomicetes en ecosistemas de manglar no son comunes; principalmente se han llevado a cabo en Brasil. En esta investigación, se realizó el primer muestreo de mixomicetes asociados a dos especies de ... -
Myxomycetes within ecotones in temperate and tropical forests
(2021)Ecotones are interesting portions of forests where microorganisms can be studied for monitoring and diversity purposes. Given the faster life cycle of these organisms, their study in such a context is important to develop ... -
New records of myxomycetes (Amoebozoa) from Colombia
(2022-07-04)Colombia is located in one the megadiverse regions of the world. However, the number of known species of myxomycetes for this territory is low when compared to similar countries in the same region. The most important reason ... -
New records of myxomycetes for the state of Veracruz from Cofre de Perote National Park
(2021-09-20)Most of the species of myxomycetes from Mexico are well documented, but their patchy geographical and temporal distribution responds to the individual efforts carried out in different areas of the territory over time. As ... -
Rapid assessment of myxomycetes in Isla Calero and Isla Brava, Costa Rica
(2022-03-02)The geography of the northeasternmost section of Costa Rica corresponds to river islands sparsely populated and highly protected for biological conservation. Myxomycetes had not been studied in that part of such Central ... -
Results of myxomycete experiments could be affected by temperature in “standard” laboratory conditions
(2023-02-20)Moist chamber cultures are valuable for myxomycete research and can be used for the analysis of ecological patterns with implications in ecosystem conservation programs. However, to make comparisons between datasets ... -
What can myxomycetes tell us about floricolous microbial systems?
(2017-02)The study described herein was conducted in Costa Rica in an effort to generate baseline data on the association between tropical inflorescences and a group of microorganisms known as myxomycetes. The assemblage structure ...
