Abstract Several methods have been published to estimate per capita predation rates from molecular gut content analysis relying on intuitive understanding of predation, but none have been formally derived. We provide a theoretical framework for estimating predation rates to identify an accurate method and lay bare its assumptions.

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis manifested secondary to bacterial pleural empyema. [PDF]
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a chronic inflammatory airway disease that develops through allergic reactions induced by the ubiquitous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus in the airways. We experienced an unusual case of unilateral high‐attenuation mucus plugs and atelectasis following same side bacterial pleural empyema, which led to the ...
