A 45-year-old female presented with the history of progressive headache, disorientation, unsteadiness, and urinary incontinence for over 6 months...

In this paper, we review the history of Hydropsychinae genus-level classification and nomenclature and present new molecular evidence from mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and nuclear large subunit ribosomal ribonucleic acid (28S) markers supporting the monophyly of the genus Hydropsyche. Both molecular and morphological characters support a broad conservative definition of Hy...

Introduction. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are manufactured as additive flame retardants in the production of polyurethane foams, textiles and plastics. PBDEs are persistent, lipophilic compounds that bioaccumulate through to the highest levels of the food chain (e.g., Lindberg et al., 2004). Recent reports have demonstrated that avian populations are subject to PBDE bioaccumulation b...

Introduction Kleptoparasitism by animals pertains to the opportunistic or habitual stealing of food from other animals. The kleptoparasite benefits by eating food that it could not have obtained itself or by saving energy by not having to search for or capture that food (Shealer et al. 2005).
