First records of complete annual cycles in water rails Rallus aquaticus show evidence of itinerant breeding and a complex migration system
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In water rails Rallus aquaticus, northern and eastern populations are migratory while southern and western populations are sedentary. Few details are known about the annual cycle of this elusive species. We studied movements ... -
First study of the two-body scattering involving charm hadrons
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)This article presents the first measurement of the interaction between charm hadrons and nucleons. The two-particle momentum correlations of pD− and ¯pD+ pairs are measured by the ALICE Collaboration in high-multiplicity ... -
The first vanE-type vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecalis isolates in Norway – phenotypic and molecular characteristics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Objectives We aimed to characterize the vanE cluster and its genetic support in the first Norwegian vanE-type isolates and assess genetic relatedness to other vanE isolates. Methods Two vanE-type vancomycin resistant ... -
First, do no harm? Dark logic models, social injustice, and the prevention of iatrogenic conservation outcomes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In medicine and public health, the Hippocratic injunction to ‘first do no harm’ has inspired a longstanding tradition of research and practice seeking to mitigate iatrogenic (doctor or practitioner-created) risks. Aiming ... -
First-Episode Patients Report Cognitive Difficulties in Executive Functioning 1 Year After Initial Episode of Major Depressive Disorder
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-31)Objective: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is associated with cognitive impairment in general, and Executive Functioning (EF) in particular, even in remitted phase of the disorder, suggesting residual cognitive symptoms. ... -
A first-level customization study of SAPS II with Norwegian Intensive Care and Pandemic Registry (NIPaR) data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: Severity scores and mortality prediction models (MPMs) are important tools for benchmarking and stratification in the intensive care unit (ICU) and need to be regularly updated using data from a local and ... -
Fish for food and nutrition security in Ghana: Challenges and opportunities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Fish is an important dietary source of micronutrients, particularly in low-and middle-income countries. In Ghana, effective management of fish and the fisheries is essential for food, economic and nutrition security and ... -
The Fish Pathogen "Candidatus Clavichlamydia salmonicola" - A Missing Link in the Evolution of Chlamydial Pathogens of Humans
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Chlamydiae like Chlamydia trachomatis and Chlamydia psittaci are well-known human and animal pathogens. Yet, the chlamydiae are a much larger group of evolutionary ancient obligate intracellular bacteria that includes ... -
Fish resist temptation from junk food: state-dependent diet choice in reproductive Atlantic cod Gadus morhua facing seasonal fluxes of lipid-rich prey
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In ecological sciences, animal diets are often simplified to ‘resources' or ‘caloric quantities'. However, in the present study, we investigated the optimal foraging strategy of Atlantic cod Gadus morhua when both macro- ... -
Fisheries Surveys Are Essential Ocean Observing Programs in a Time of Global Change: A Synthesis of Oceanographic and Ecological Data From U.S. West Coast Fisheries Surveys
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)As climate change and other anthropogenic impacts on marine ecosystems accelerate in the 21st century, there is an increasing need for sustained ocean time series. A robust and collaborative network of regional monitoring ... -
Fishes in a changing world: learning from the past to promote sustainability of fish populations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Populations of fishes provide valuable services for billions of people, but face diverse and interacting threats that jeopardize their sustainability. Human population growth and intensifying resource use for food, water, ... -
Five reasons to take the precautionary approach to deep sea exploitation
(Journal article, 2023)Extractive activities in the deep sea are poised to advance faster than the science needed to evaluate risks. Here, we call for a strong precautionary approach in developing these industries. -
Five salmon dinners per week were not sufficient to prevent the reduction in serum vitamin D in autumn at 60° north latitude: A randomised trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Low serum concentrations of several vitamins have been linked to increased risk of diseases including insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Fish is a good source of several vitamins, and the prevalence of T2D is ... -
