Slime mold several kinds of unrelated eukaryotic organisms

Slime mold or slime mould is an informal name given to several kinds of unrelated eukaryotic organisms that can live freely as single cells, but can aggregate together to form multicellular reproductive structures. Slime molds were formerly classified as fungi but are no longer considered part of that kingdom. Although not forming a single monophyletic clade, they are grouped within the paraphyletic group referred to as kingdom Protista.

Rove beetle Family of beetles

The rove beetles are a family (Staphylinidae) of beetles, primarily distinguished by their short elytra that typically leave more than half of their abdominal segments exposed. With roughly 63,000 species in thousands of genera, the group is currently recognized as the largest extant family of organisms. It is an ancient group, with fossilized rove beetles known from the Triassic, 200 million years ago, and possibly even earlier if the genus Leehermania proves to be a member of this family. They are an ecologically and morphologically diverse group of beetles, and commonly encountered in terrestrial ecosystems.

Opisthokont Group of eukaryotes which includes animals and fungi, among other groups.

The opisthokonts are a broad group of eukaryotes, including both the animal and fungus kingdoms. The opisthokonts, previously called the "Fungi/Metazoa group", are generally recognized as a clade. Opisthokonts together with Apusomonadida and Breviata comprise the larger clade Obazoa.

Omaliinae Subfamily of beetles

The Omaliinae are a subfamily of the Staphylinidae, rove beetles.

<i>Fuligo septica</i> species of the genus Fuligo

Fuligo septica is a species of plasmodial slime mold, and a member of the Myxomycetes class. It is commonly known as the scrambled egg slime, or flowers of tan because of its peculiar yellowish, bile-colored appearance. Also known as the dog vomit slime mold, it is common with a worldwide distribution, and it is often found on bark mulch in urban areas after heavy rain or excessive watering. Their spores are produced on or in aerial sporangia and are spread by wind.

Protosteliales

Protosteliomycetes/Protosteliales (ICBN) or Protostelea/Protostelia/Protosteliida (ICZN) is a grouping of slime molds from the phylum Mycetozoa. The name can vary depending upon the taxon used. Other names include Protostelea, Protostelia, and Protostelida. When not implying a specific level of classification, the term "protostelid" or "protosteloid amoeba" is sometimes used.

Aleocharinae Subfamily of beetles

The Aleocharinae are one of the largest subfamilies of rove beetles, containing over 12,000 species. Previously subject to large-scale debate whether the subfamily deserved the familial status, it is now considered one of the largest subfamilies of rove beetles.

The Empelinae are a subfamily of rove beetles ; their biology is virtually unknown. Their anatomy and ecology resemble many rove beetles.

Euaesthetinae Subfamily of beetles

The Euaesthetinae are a subfamily of the Staphylinidae (Coleoptera). These rove beetles have slender antennae with two or three apical antennomeres forming a loose club. The tarsi have 4-4-4 or 5-5-5 segments. They are found in forest litter. Five genera and 22 species known from North America.

Habrocerinae Subfamily of beetles

The Habrocerinae are a subfamily of the Staphylinidae, rove beetles.

Leptotyphlinae Subfamily of beetles

The Leptotyphlinae are a subfamily of the Staphylinidae, rove beetles. They are very small, less than 1.8 mm long, and are eyeless and wingless. These beetles appear to have seven abdominal segments, and 3-3-3 is their tarsal formula. They are found in leaf litter or deep soil, possibly as predators of mites, collembola, and other soil arthropods. Nine genera and 13 species are known from North America, in western states and Florida, but they may be more widespread.

Micropeplinae Subfamily of beetles

The Micropeplinae are a subfamily of the Staphylinidae, rove beetles. Their antennae have 9 segments with single-segmented clubs. The tarsal formula is 4-4-4. They are found in leaf litter, near lake shores and marshy areas, in mammal and bird nests, probably as saprophages or mold feeders. In North America, two genera are known Kalissus LeConte 1874 and Micropeplus Latreille, with 14 widespread species.

Oxyporinae Subfamily of beetles

The Oxyporinae are a subfamily of the Staphylinidae discovered in 1839 by Erichson. One genus, Oxyporus Fabricius, with six species, is found in North America.

Oxytelinae Subfamily of beetles

The Oxytelinae are a subfamily of the Staphylinidae, rove beetles. They have a unique pair of defensive glands opening onto the ninth tergum. Most have seven complete sterna visible. The tarsal patterns are 2-2-2, 3-3-3, 4-4-4, or 5-5-5. They are generally found in moist places: moss along streams, leaf litter, beaches, etc.
