Benthic macroinvertebrate communities of Lake Tanganyika tributaries in pristine, forested, and impacted, deforested, watersheds were examined. Samples were collected using a Surber-sampler, and identified under a dissecting microscope. Family biotic indices (FBI), percent of Ephemeroptera/Plecoptera/Trichoptera (%EPT), relative Chironomid abundance (RCA), and taxa richness of five impacted str...

We performed transection injuries and measured recovery both by walking track analysis and by a newer, simpler, more qu...

Assessing cognitive decline and everyday functioning (EvF) in older age is valuable detecting age-related neurological disorders. In Greece, there a lack of sensitive instruments that capture fluctuations EvF among persons who are cognitively healthy or have subtle impairments.
