Abstract
One of the pioneering taxonomic works about the Philippine slime molds (that includes the myxomycetes and dictyostelids) were the annotated check list reported by Dogma in 1975 published in the Kalikasan – Philippine Journal of Biology. This report meaningfully contributed to the succeeding studies conducted with the Philippine slime molds after almost four decades of stagnancy. Hence, this review paper tackles how the studies regarding the Philippine slime molds progressed since Dogma’s 1975 annotation, particularly in further understanding the ecology and systematics of these fungus-like protist. At present day, the total number of myxomycetes species in the Philippines is 159 while the number of records for dictyostelids is 12.
期刊介绍:
The Philippine Journal of Systematic Biology (Print ISSN: 1908-6865; Online ISSN: 2508-0342) is an annual, peer-reviewed journal in English that publishes high quality reports of original research and reviews in the field of Taxonomy & Systematics, Ecology and Conservation Biology. The PJSB is a CHED recognized journal under CHED CMO 50 series of 2017. It is also included in the Clavariate Analysis (formerly a subsidiary of Thomson Reuters) Master Journal List under Zoological Record, BIOSIS Previews and Biological Abstracts.The PJSB is the official publication of the Association of Systematic Biologists of the Philippines (SEC Registration: Association of Philippine Taxonomists, Inc.). The organization financially supports the journal and all its endeavors. The journal aims to build up quality information on animal, plant and microbial diversity in the Philippines. Articles dealing with original research or reviews in Zoological, Botanical or Microbial Systematics, Ecology and Conservation Biology are welcome. Authors are advised to consult a recent issue of PJSB for the current format and style. All manuscripts are reviewed by at least two qualified referees.
