 =====Taxonomy=====
 The term "banana slug" refers to any member of the genus //Ariolimax//, of which there are three species. They are part of the mollusc superfamily Arionoidea, which contains most terrestrial air-breathing slugs.  Within //Ariolimax//, there are three species: //A. columbianus//, //A. californicus//, and //A. dolichophallus//, which is the UC Santa Cruz mascot.
 =====Appearance and Anatomy=====
 //Ariolimax dolichophallus//, the slender banana slug, can grow up to 7" long.  As the name suggests, banana slugs are usually bright yellow in color, although they can also be green, black, brown, or white.
@@ Line 23: / Line 24: @@
 Many animals are predators of the banana slug, including birds, raccoons, snakes, and salamanders.  However, due to the mucous secreted by the slug, most such predators will roll the slug around in the dirt to remove the slime before eating the slug.((http://www.greatwildoutdoors.com/2007/09/10/banana-slug/))
-===== Citations =====
+===== Search Strategies =====
+To find the rather sparse literature on //A. dolichophallus// requires doing sensitive literature searches, then weeding the results to get higher specificity.  This section should list searches tried, how many hits they got, and what sort of specificity they had.  The results should be collected in the Annotated Bibliography section.
