 =====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.
+  * Google Books search
+    * //dolichophallus// as the sole keyword gets 147 hits.  Many of them are not relevant (wrong genus).
+    * //dolichophallus -xenophthalmodes// reduces the hits to 129
+    * //dolichophallus -xenophthalmodes -brioptera -"x dolichophallus"// reduces the hits to 125.  Not all are relevant, but it looks like at least half are.  I have not added these to the list below, but I recommend that one of the students start doing so. --- //[[karplus@soe.ucsc.edu|Kevin Karplus]] 2010/04/26 13:14//
+    * //ariolimax// as the sole keyword gets 739 hits---probably too many for us to process.
+    * //ariolimax dolichophallus// gets 47 hits, which are probably all relevant.
+  * Google scholar search
+    * //ariolimax dolichophallus// gets 48 hits, which are probably all relevant.  There is most likely some overlap with the Google Books search.
+    * //ariolimax// alone gets 743 hits---again too many for us.
+    * //dolichiphallus// alone gets 73, some of which are wrong genus.
+===== Annotated Bibliography =====
+I have uploaded a long bibliography by Janet Leonard {{:ariolimax_bibliography_janet_leonard.doc}}
+Please extract citations from there and work them into this bibliography.
+She has a lot of older works that would be difficult to find electronically, but does not include anything newer than 2002, when she created the bibliography.
