Evolution of Multicellular Complexity in The Dictyostelid Social Amoebas by Koryu Kin, Pauline Schaap

“…We propose frost resistance as an early driver of multicellular evolution in Dictyostelids and show that the cell signalling pathways for differentiating spore and stalk cells evolved from that for encystation. …”
