Purpose: To describe the current seating recommendations made by a seating clinic for wheelchair users who presented with a Pressure Injury (PrI) or history of PrI.
Methods: Retrospective review of electronic medical records of 133 adults who used a wheelchair as their primary means of mobility who had a cushion evaluation during which interface pressure mapping data was documented.
Results: Clinicians adjusted 71% of participants' wheelchair cushions, including 49% who received a new cushion, and 37% of participants' wheelchairs.
Vespa crabro Linnaeus is newly reported as an adventive species in British Columbia, Canada which is the first record of this invasive species in western North America.

Most previous studies have utilized limited genetic markers or distantly related species to look for reproductive barriers of speciation. In our study, we focus on closely related species of bugs and two sister species of parasitoid wasps.
