in order to find out whether these morphologically very variable frogs may be affected by the planned tourism activities. The results will lead in the medium term to a sustainable development plan for the area with Atelopus receiving the role here of a so-called flagship species i e. a species which stands as representative for the protection of the entire area.

In addition to their cultural and ecological significance they're economically important both from a livestock perspective and from a tourism perspective.
Entrainment is akin to the process that international travelers go through as they recover from jet lag.

#Nonsmoking hotel rooms still expose occupants to tobacco smokenon-smokers should give hotels that allow smoking in certain rooms a wide berth say the authors
and instead choose completely smoke free hotels. The researchers analysed the surfaces and air quality of rooms for evidence of tobacco smoke pollution (nicotine and 3ep) known as third hand smoke in a random sample of budget to mid-range hotels in San diego California.
Ten hotels in the sample operated complete bans and 30 operated partial smoking bans providing designated nonsmoking rooms.
Nonsmokers who spent the night at any of the hotels provided urine and finger wipe samples to assess their exposure to nicotine
and a cancer causing agent found specifically in tobacco smoke--known as NKK--as measured by their metabolites cotinine and NNAL.
The findings showed that smoking in hotels left a legacy of tobacco pollution in both smoking
Compared with hotels operating total smoking bans surface nicotine and air 3ep levels were higher in both nonsmoking and smoking rooms of hotels operating partial bans.
Surface nicotine levels were more than twice as high in nonsmoking rooms of hotels operating partial bans as those of hotels operating total smoking bans (3. 7 g/m2 compared with 1. 4 g/m2)
while air levels of 3ep were more than 7 times as high. Surface and air nicotine levels in rooms where previous guests had smoked were 35 and 22 times higher than those of rooms in hotels operating a total smoking ban.
Air nicotine levels in smoking rooms were significantly higher than in nonsmoking rooms; and they were also higher 40%higher in nonsmoking rooms of hotels operating partial smoking bans than in those operating total bans.
Similarly hallway surfaces outside smoking rooms also showed higher nicotine levels than those outside nonsmoking rooms.
Nonsmokers who stayed in hotels with partial smoking bans also had higher levels of finger nicotine
and urinary cotinine than those staying in hotels operating total bans. Urinary NNAL was also significantly higher in those staying in the 10 rooms containing the highest levels of tobacco pollutants.
Our findings demonstrate that some nonsmoking guest rooms in smoking hotels are polluted as with third hand smoke as are some smoking rooms write the authors.
Few countries have adopted a smoking ban that includes hotels say the authors but their findings suggest that it is time to abandon smoke-free exemptions for hotels they write.
New hotels should operate total smoking bans to protect not only their guests but also their employees say the authors.
In the meantime they advise: Guests who wish to protect themselves from exposure to tobacco smoke should avoid hotels that permit smoking
and instead stay in completely smoke-free hotels. Story Source: The above story is provided based on materials by BMJ-British Medical Journal.

Great bustards found in Spain may travel only about 10 miles annually whereas those in western Russia travel about 600 miles one way to warmer wintering regions.
The Asian subspecies however is the marathon runner of the great bustard family. In Mongolia winter temperatures can drop 30 to 50 degrees below zero Kessler says.
We found that the Asian great bustards travel for an average of two months covering 1200 miles to reach wintering grounds in Shaanxi province in central China.

An example of this is former England international soccer player Gary Lineker now principally a TV sports presenter who has been endorsing Walker's Crisps since 1995.
The adverts were for Walkers crisps (featuring Gary Lineker as a celebrity endorser) a different snack food or a toy product.
The children were offered two bowls of crisps to eat one labelled`Walkers'and one labelled`Supermarket'although both bowls actually contained Walkers crisps.
although both bowls contained Walkers crisps after watching the Gary Lineker advert or the general TV footage of Gary Lineker the children ate considerably more of the Walkers crisps than the children who watched the other snack food advert or the toy advert.
