Appendix A. Map and physical characteristics of study lakes.

FIG. A1. Map of study area and basin-specific inset maps, California, USA. Within each basin, paired study lakes are circled with the same line type (e.g., solid or dashed); dark gray lakes are fishless and light gray lakes are fish-containing.
TABLE A1. Physical characteristics of study lakes, based on data collected from 19951997 (Knapp and Matthews 2000, Knapp et al. 2001, J. Erdman, personal communication 2008). Lakes are arranged by lake pair.
