Dictyostelium discoideum slugs show a pronounced thermotaxis. We have modelled the motion of the D. discoideum slug in the absence and in the presence of a thermal gradient. Our model is an extension of the hybrid cellular automata/partial di!erential equation model, as formulated by Savill and Hoge

A mathematical model for cell sorting and migration in the slug stage of cellular slime molds Dictyostelium discoideum is proposed. Assuming that a slug is a "mixed fluid" of prespore and prestalk cells, a set of equations which describe the dynamics of cell distribution, internal pressure and veloc
