Main movement functions in unitary motile and modular organism (filamentous fungus). In motile unitary organism (left), the individual interacts with the environment by moving its entire body from one point to another (green arrows; a). Physiological movements (orange arrows; c) and developmental movement (i.e. growth and morphology, blue arrows and dots; b) are present as distinctive processes. A filamentous fungus (right) has no capacity to move its entire body. Instead it intertwines the foraging with growth and morphology (green + blue arrows and dots; A + B), and resource patch integration with physiological movements (green arrows + orange arrows; A + C)
