New species of dictyostelid cellular slime moulds from Australia

During the 2001-2006 field seasons, samples for isolation of dictyostelid cellular slime moulds were collected at several localities in Queensland, the Northern Territory, Western Australia and Victoria. The majority of these samples were collected from the soil-litter layer on the ground, but some...
