Abstract
Two rival quantitative models for the speed of wave propagation in the cellular slime molds are constructed and compared with experiment. The data are consistent with a pattern of signal relaying by the cells with an internal time delay, first conjectured by Shaffer. This delay reflects an internal cellular property, completely independent of cell contact formation. It is suggested that this might correspond to the time needed for a cell to build up the signal level before relaying it on in response to the earlier, external signal.
