DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-65709-3
Abstract: Unicellular protozoa that encyst individually upon starvation evolved at least eight times into organisms that instead form multicellular fruiting bodies with spores. The Dictyostelia are the largest and most complex group of such organisms. They… read more here.
