Sleep‐Related Attentional Bias in Insomnia: A Drift Diffusion Model Approach

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cognitive models propose that insomnia is maintained in part by selective attention to sleep‐related information, yet reaction‐time indices alone offer limited mechanistic specificity. We investigated sleep‐related attentional bias in adolescents and young adults with insomnia disorder (n = 201; aged 15–24 years; DSM‐5) using a sleep‐related ...

Evolutionary legacies structure the geography of seagrass traits across the world's oceans

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Traits modulate species' ability to track shifts in climate, yet the extent to which traits have been shaped by the contemporary environment and/or historical processes remains poorly understood. Here, we fill this gap for the world's seagrasses, habitat‐forming species that provide critical ecosystem services.

Dehydration‐driven organization of metabolites into NaDES‐like assemblies in orthodox seeds

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Desiccation tolerance in plants, especially during orthodox seed dehydration, relies on compatible solute accumulation, complex molecular mechanisms, and intermolecular organizations that remain poorly understood. We combined metabolite profiling, mass spectrometry imaging, and electrospray and cold‐spray ionization mass spectrometry to ...
