Tracking the Autumn Migration of the Bar-Headed Goose (Anser indicus) with Satellite Telemetry and Relationship to Environmental Conditions by Yaonan Zhang, Meiyu Hao, John Y. Takekawa, Fumin Lei, Baoping Yan, Diann J. Prosser, David C. Douglas, Zhi Xing, Scott H. Newman

“…The autumn migration routes of bar-headed geese captured before the 2008 breeding season at Qinghai Lake, China, were documented using satellite tracking data. To assess how the migration strategies of bar-headed geese are influenced by environmental conditions, the relationship between migratory routes, temperatures, and vegetation coverage at stopovers sites estimated with the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) were analyzed. …”

Population genomics of cardiometabolic traits: design of the University College London-London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine-Edinburgh-Bristol (UCLEB) Consortium. by Tina Shah, Jorgen Engmann, Caroline Dale, Sonia Shah, Jon White, Claudia Giambartolomei, Stela McLachlan, Delilah Zabaneh, Alana Cavadino, Chris Finan, Andrew Wong, Antoinette Amuzu, Ken Ong, Tom Gaunt, Michael V Holmes, Helen Warren, Daniel I Swerdlow, Teri-Louise Davies, Fotios Drenos, Jackie Cooper, Reecha Sofat, Mark Caulfield, Shah Ebrahim, Debbie A Lawlor, Philippa J Talmud, Steve E Humphries, Christine Power, Elina Hypponen, Marcus Richards, Rebecca Hardy, Diana Kuh, Nicholas Wareham, Claudia Langenberg, Yoav Ben-Shlomo, Ian N Day, Peter Whincup, Richard Morris, Mark W J Strachan, Jacqueline Price, Meena Kumari, Meena Kumari, Mika Kivimaki, Vincent Plagnol, Frank Dudbridge, John C Whittaker, Juan P Casas, Aroon D Hingorani, UCLEB Consortium

“…Nevertheless, gaps in knowledge remain and new questions have arisen regarding the population relevance, mechanisms, and applications for healthcare. Using a new high-resolution custom single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array (Metabochip) incorporating dense coverage of genomic regions linked to cardiometabolic disease, the University College-London School-Edinburgh-Bristol (UCLEB) consortium of highly-phenotyped population-based prospective studies, aims to: (1) fine map functionally relevant SNPs; (2) precisely estimate individual absolute and population attributable risks based on individual SNPs and their combination; (3) investigate mechanisms leading to altered risk factor profiles and CVD events; and (4) use Mendelian randomisation to undertake studies of the causal role in CVD of a range of cardiovascular biomarkers to inform public health policy and help develop new preventative therapies.…”
