“…Even though direct links between independent variables and temperature were weak (0.21 and 0.26), there were, first, significantly different than a random association of abundance/species richness and temperature in 2015; and second, significantly different than mathematical associations without contextual meaning (as observed in the probabilities under 0.0001). For climate change research on myxomycetes, these results could delineate potential future investigations (see Kryvomaz et al 2022). After all, results showed that an increase of 0.6°C in air temperature in laboratory conditions was associated, although not causally, with an increment in the number of myxomycete records and species observed in moist chamber cultures.…”

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 valid, the method should be redesigned considering potential biases affecting the generation of results. In the present study, both the effect of the general climate of the laboratory and two microclimatic variables within the moist chamber were studied in relation with the obtained data. Of all the recorded variables, temperature was observed to affect the results, both at the level of the general laboratory climate and in relation with the microclimate of the moist chamber. Increments in laboratory and moist chamber temperature increased the probability, three or fourfold, associated with a higher number of records or species within a group of equivalent samples. Such probabilistic differences are significant enough to suggest that using the moist chamber technique in “standard” laboratory conditions is not enough for cross-dataset comparisons that increase the potential of myxomycete data for applications outside of the biological sciences.
