Sustained attention is a core cognitive function, frequently declines with age and neurological disease, and is highly relevant for functional outcomes in geriatric populations. Electroencephalography (EEG) offers high temporal resolution for assessing attentional processes, but its feasibility in multimorbid geriatric inpatients remains insufficiently characterized. This study evaluated the procedural and methodological feasi...

Knowledge of spatial biodiversity patterns is important for ecosystem assessment. Rhodoliths, free-living calcareous algae, are biotic components that structure the sea floor through their complex calcareous skeletons and their tendency to accumulate in an area to form rhodolith beds. Thereby, rhodoliths are considered to act as ecosystem engineers promoting local biodiversity. In this study, the biodiversity of rhodolith beds...

A novel pan-European marine model ensemble was established, covering nearly all seas under the regulation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), with the aim of providing a consistent assessment of the potential impacts of riverine nutrient reduction scenarios on marine eutrophication indicators. For each sea region, up to five coupled biogeochemical models from institutes all over Europe were brought together for...

Benthic epifauna was sampled in an area of 10 × 10 nautical miles in the German Bight. Samples were taken in January and July/August from 1998 to 2009. The ecological functioning of the epifaunal community was assessed using biological traits analysis (BTA). Twelve ecological traits of 26 epifaunal species were considered and analysed using non‐metric multidimensional scaling (nmMDS). Anomalies in the sea surface temperature (...
