Rivito, Sean 2005 Journal GO Lake Basin, Kings Canyon National Park, Fresno Co., CA (cont.) July 8 ... I called this site Misty Lake (1) [SL(1)] for the swabs.

I then walked back to camp and up to the NE side of Mt. Otter above Lake 11. I found 10 juvenile Hydromantes in seeps on the ridge leading out from the King Spur to the east (36.82229°N, 118.43756°W [WG584], 14m a.s.l., 3517m elev.). There was some slight seepage out of deep mossy crevices in the granite, and the juvenile salamanders were under very small rocks in the crevices or just outside on the rock shelf. I found five juveniles under the same rock at 5:30PM. I got three ventral swabs for Nancy Nriegenberg to test for chytrid fungus and one ventral swab for me to test if I can amplify DNA from it. At 8:45PM Tate Hunstall and I walked over to a site that he knew where Hydromantes is usually abundant.
