Two new species of dictyostelid cellular slime molds in high-elevation habitats on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China
TL;DR: The study reported herein is the first investigation of dictyostelid biodiversity carried out at elevations above 2000 m, and Sorocarp size, sorus size, spore length, ratio of sorus and sorophore, and ratio ofSorus and spore size were positively correlated with increasing elevation and no linear correlated with forest type, according to the results of linear regression analysis.

TL;DR: The diversity and abundance of dictyostelids on Christmas Island appear to be low, which might in part be due to the abundance of land crabs, which considerably reduce the extent of the litter layer on the forest floor.

Distribution and ecology of dictyostelids in China
TL;DR: The data point out the need for further studies to characterize more completely the assemblages of dictyostelids associated with particular vegetation types or particular regions throughout the world.

TL;DR: Five new dictyostelids belonging to the family Cavenderiaceae, genus Cavenderia are described based on a combination of morphological characteristics and their phylogenetic positions, indicating the high level of species diversity in this region.
Dictyostelium purpureum var. pseudosessile, a new variant of dictyostelid from tropical China.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the violet sori, widens at the midpoint of Sorophore and simple recurved sorophore bases represent the prominent features for the new variant D. purpureum var.
