Talk:Protist locomotion

Other forms of protist motility
@Epipelagic thank you very much for starting this article!

Here's a few more forms of protist motility and sources that could be used to expand this article. I might get around to it eventually but if someone else wants to jump in please feel free to do so.


 * Jumping behavior of some planktonic ciliates (Halteria, Mesodinium, Strombidium), thought to aid escape from predators. (https://doi.org/10.1007/bf00165817, https://doi.org/10.1016/S0003-9365(79)80040-8, https://doi.org/10.1080/17451000600571044)
 * Toroidal swimming by an amoeboflagellate, Idionectes vortex: (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41564-019-0478-6)
 * Euglenoid motility, or metaboly (see Euglena)
 * Ectosymbionts that enable motility of their hosts, flagellates from termite guts (https://doi.org/10.1128%2FAEM.00750-07, https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-28221-1_5)
 * Gravitaxis (geotaxis) in Loxodes and related ciliates (https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.110.1.17, https://doi.org/10.1007/s003590050257)
