Biologists have found that voluntary activity, such as daily exercise, is a highly heritable trait that can be passed down genetically to successive generations. Working on mice in the lab, they found that activity level can be enhanced with selective breeding. Their experiments showed that mice that were bred to be high runners produced high-running offspring, indicating that the offspring had inherited the trait for activity.

National Park Service News Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

September 1, 2010

Contacts: Rebecca Wiles, White Sands National Monument, Rebecca_Wiles@nps.gov, 575-679-2599 ext. 230

Elise Cleva, NPS Headquarters, Elise_M_Cleva@nps.gov, 202-208-6843

White Sands National Monument

America’s Best Idea: National Park Getaway

Alamogordo, N.M. – It’s no secret that the American Southwest is a top spot

for outdoor recreation. Go there and you can hike amid ruddy rock

formations, ride horses along canyon rims, and raft or boat on famous

rivers like the Colorado and the Rio Grande. You might not, however,

include sledding among your options when planning a getaway to this region

of mesas, deserts, and gorges—and especially not sledding while wearing

shorts and t-shirts. Yet you can enjoy a traditionally “cold weather”

pastime while basking in sunlight and warm air at White Sands National

Monument, the pick of this week in the National Park Getaway series of

travel articles.

At White Sands, in the world’s largest gypsum dune field, slopes formed of

the swan-colored grains that give the park its name invite children and the

young at heart to sled down. Drifts of sand stretch out before hikers. The

land undulates, rising gently into mounds and sinking into soft dimples.

The shapes and colors—pure white shadowed with blue and gray—beckon to

photographers.

Hikes with rangers and evening programs called Sunset Strolls afford

opportunities to explore this pseudo-arctic nook of New Mexico. To read one

ranger’s account of how this national park caught her eye and drew her to

itself, visit www.nps.gov/getaways, where you’ll find this week’s article

and all that have come before in the series.

Are you really sure what you saw in that river? Some keen-eyed spotter was not quite as keen as he thought. The Crocodile of the English Channel? Nope, it was wood. From the BBC:

Coastguards in Dover and France say a large crocodile sighted in the English Channel was actually a piece of wood.

Officials have said that the wood probably did look like a crocodile from a distance.

Bathing in the sea in and around Boulogne-sur-Mer in France was suspended on Friday as a precaution while a search was conducted.

The claim of a crocodile sighting was made in a message which had been sent to a local newspaper, La Voix du Nord.

However, on that note, numerous alligators have been sighted and reclaimed by rescuers. As a board member of the Chicago Herpetological Society, I can only tell you that the number of phone calls to me while flying home from the NRBE in Daytona last week was insane. The second alligator in the Chicago River in a one month time period was being hunted and was eventually captured. Seriously, this is not the image we want people to have of us.

For the first time, researchers have identified and isolated adult mammary stem cells in mice. Long-term implications of this research may include the use of such cells to regenerate breast tissue, provide a better understanding of the role of adult stem cells in breast cancer development, and develop potential new targets for anti-cancer drugs.
