[Texascavers] Restoration Field Camp, Carlsbad Caverns

[William Tucker]

Announcing
Restoration Field Camp
Carlsbad Caverns National Park
June 11 - 16, 2012

This camp is open to anyone 18 years of age or older no matter their caving
experience. It is a great opportunity for new cavers to learn about cave
conservation, restoration and etiquette. They will receive instructions and
guidance and we will be performing meaningful cave restoration projects at
the Park all week. It is also a great camp for experienced cavers and
restorationists, too.

We will be performing various cave restoration and conservation projects in
the cave on behalf of Carlsbad Caverns and enjoying our off times together.
We will be staying in the historic research huts just a short walk from the
Natural Entrance. The evening bat flights visible from the porch are
particularly grand. The cost of the camp is being kept to a minimum and the
mood will be casual, friendly and fun.

The camp is being organized by William and Tammy Tucker on behalf of the
Cave Research Foundation.

If you are interested, contact William Tucker
(mailto:william.tuc...@att.net) and you will be sent further details and an
application.

[SWR] CaveSim at NSS Caving Convention 2012

[jen .]

The Cave Simulator that was at convention in Colorado is looking for donations 
to buy a trailer so they can take it to convention and to other events.  
They've even been using it to train search and rescue personnel about how to 
move through caves.  
You can watch an entertaining video and donate here:

RE: [Texascavers] WNS syndrome news dissection

Delving further into the PNAS article claiming that N. American and
European WNS is the same.
 
Just because American bats infected with N. American and European fungus
showed similar symptoms does not mean that these are the exact same
Geomyces destructans, which I think the article was implying. I think
the importance may be for proving the Kochs postulates of Geomyces
destructans in white nose syndrome (implying that fungus is causative of
the disease). There is this amazing thing called 'molecular biology'
that actually lets you look at the genomic structure and determine its
similarity to other pathogens, and trace its genetic drift. 

>From Pubmed, there is an article from 2011 that shows clonal genotype of
US isolates is similar, imlpying clonal dispersion of fungus in North
America (Emerg Infect Dis, 2011, July 17(7): 1273-6). However, I'm not
aware of any papers showing molecular match between N. American or
European Geomyces destructans.
