Boots, Dean 2007 Journal Camp 2 to Camp 3, trail to Cerro Kamuk, Parque Internacional La Amistad, Prov. Puntarenas-Limon, Costa Rica Dec. 18 We left camp 2 around 08:00 and climbed up through nice mossy oak forest to the top of Cerro Duku, which I think is on the Talamancan crest. The habitat there consisted of paramo with tons of moss and ferns, some Clusia trees, and some bunchgrass. I pulledmo and I opened about 30 bromeliads in a little over an hour but found only one Mesaspis marticola. Cachi focused on moss and found nothing, as did Aljido. Hugo (our guide) found an elatiorhiza picadori and some tadpoles in bromeliads (9.24276°N, 83.07140°W [WGS84, 7m acc], 2963m elev). This area seemed great for salamanders and I was surprised that we didn't find any. We continued on to a small area of very mossy forest and searched in moss and a few bromeliads for ~30min but found nothing. We then climbed out of the forest and stayed in paramo for the rest of the day, aside from some stands of short Clusia trees. I opened a bromeliad from one of these trees and found a black salamander with golden flecks on its sides and ventr, of about the same size as the first salamanders we got on the trip, although less robust (9.25450°N, 83.05912°W [WGS84, 7m acc], 3089m elev). Cachi found another one nearby in mossy. I looked in a big patch of moss in the same area and found a small orange-brown Bolitoglossa, which Cachi says looks like the ones from Cerro Fabrega. We searched for ~20 minutes in moss but found nothing more. The final ascent to our camp passed into a zone of drier bamboo paramo that doesn't look as good for salamanders. It was cold and very windy at night, so we didn't search.
