Kin discrimination and possible cryptic species in the social amoeba Polysphondylium violaceum.

BMC evolutionary biology - 27 Jan 2011

Kalla Sara E, Queller David C, Lasagni Andrea, Strassmann Joan E

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The genetic diversity of many protists is unknown. The differences that result from this diversity can be important in interactions among individuals. The social amoeba Polysphondylium violaceum, which is a member of the Dictyostelia, has a social stage where individual amoebae aggregate together to form a multicellular fruiting body with dead stalk cells and live spores. Individuals can either...
