“…Bab.) Ogata et al (1996) stated that, despite being cosmopolitan, P. oblonga is always scarce, which is corroborated by the present study. Physarum stellatum and Cribraria cancellata were constant on the Flores Trail, although accidental on the Cumbe Trail and absent from the Boa Vista Trail.…”

“…The Trichiaceae family, which was dominant in the study area, has the greatest range of sporulation conditions. We found that, in the PFF, the sporulation of most species peaks two to four months after of the period of heaviest rainfall, which corroborates the findings of Ogata et al (1996) for the myxobiota of a rain forest in Mexico, as well as those of Chiappeta et al (2003) for Fuligo septica in bagasse (sugarcane leaves and sheaths) in Brazil.…”

“…2). The first three were also cited as the most abundant in a deciduous tropical forest at an elevation of 500 m in the state of Vera Cruz, Mexico (Ogata et al 1996), as well as in a mountain rain forest (≈ 3000 m in elevation) in Costa Rica, although, in the latter, A. cinerea and A. denudata were only occasional (Rojas & Stephenson 2007). In a high-plains evergreen forest fragment (elevation, 870 m) in the municipality of Botucatu, located in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, Maimoni-Rodella & Gottsberger (1980) collected A. cinerea and A. denudata on 31% of their excursions, whereas they collected H. serpula on 15%, thus allowing us to classify these species as accessory or accidental; the only constant and abundant species was H. calyculata, collected on 77% of the excursions and included by the authors among the most abundant species.…”

The present study was carried out on three trails, each presenting a different degree of disturbance, within the Pau--Ferro Forest Environmentally Protected Area, a 600 ha area of highland forest located in the municipality of Areia (06°58'12"S; 35°42'15"W; elevation, 400-600 m), in the state of Paraíba, Brazil. In 2005, we analyzed the species richness, abundance, constancy and phenology of myxomycetes over seven consecutive months (rainy and dry seasons) in five types of microhabitats: dead tree trunks, the bark of living trees, basidiomata, ground litter and aerial litter. A total of 753 specimens of 48 species were obtained from the trails known as Flores (4 km), Boa Vista (3 km) and Cumbe (700 m). The Sørensen similarity coefficient revealed that the three trails are similar. The most constant and abundant species were Hemitrichia calyculata, H. serpula, Arcyria cinerea, A. denudata and Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa. Although myxomycetes sporulate throughout the year, some species have well-defined sporulation seasons. In terms of the constancy and abundance of species, Trichiaceae is the most important family in the rain forest studied, which is representative of the highland forests of northeastern Brazil.

“…The x-axis (across the front) stands for the distance between stations in the E-W direction, and y-axis (going to the back) represents the distances in the N-S direction. correlate these two variables: a corresponding scheme (during the same sampling date) and a shifted-back scheme (Ogata et al 1996). Under the second scheme, number of insects recovered from the soil sample during a certain sampling date were correlated with the results of the nematode-bioassay (i.e., amount of nematode-killed larvae) obtained during the following sampling date (1 mo later) in the same sampling station.…”

“…Studies have not fully examined which factors limit the myxomycete distribution in every climate region. Relationships between seasonal sporulation and the occurrence of myxomycetes and air temperature have been recognized in Neotropical (Maimoni-Rodella and Gottsberger 1980), subtropical (Ogata 1996), warm temperate (Takahashi and Hada 2008a), and cool temperate (Eliasson 1981;Stephenson 1988) regions. Therefore, it is reasonable to postulate that temperature may also strongly influence the geographical distribution of myxomycetes.…”

This study obtained information on the biogeographical distribution of lignicolous myxomycetes in temperate regions in Japan. It examined how climatic variables are related to patterns of occurrence in myxomycete communities. Sixty-four taxa were recorded on coniferous wood in 15 forest sites in summer. Common species that were abundant and widely distributed in Japan included Stemonitis axifera, Lycogala epidendrum, and Cribraria cancellata. In addition, Lindbladia cribrarioides was characteristic on dead Pinus densiflora wood in southwestern Japan. The species diversity index (H 0 ) of the myxomycete communities was positively correlated with the annual mean temperature. The distribution of myxomycete communities was analyzed using nonmultidimensional scaling (NMDS). The ecological nature of the gradients expressed by the first two NMDS axes was that the first axis was found to correspond strongly to changes in the average minimum temperature and the latitude, and the second axis was related to a complex of factors, including altitude. The relative abundance of certain species in a myxomycete community on Japanese red pine changed in relation to the annual mean temperature, e.g., Lycogala epidendrum correlated negatively while Stemonitopsis hyperopta did so positively. We conclude that air temperatures can be used to predict the geographical distribution of lignicolous myxomycetes in this temperate region of Japan.
