{"product_id":"alabama-wildlife-volume-5","title":"Alabama Wildlife, Volume 5","description":"\u003ci\u003eAlabama Wildlife, Volume 5\u003c\/i\u003e collects the most recent findings of virtually all experts in the field as of 2012, when the Third Alabama Nongame Wildlife Conference was convened at Auburn University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlabama Wildlife, Volume 5\u003c\/i\u003e offers a comprehensive update and provides a wealth of new information concerning changes and developments relative to the conservation status of wild animal populations of the state that have occurred in the decade since publication of the previous four volumes in 2004. Enhancements include the addition of any new or rediscovered taxon, species priority status changes, and taxonomic changes, plus the addition of the crayfishes, which were left out previously because so little was known about these understudied taxa.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e A complete taxonomic checklist is included, which lists each imperiled taxon along with its priority designation followed by detailed species accounts. The eighty-four crayfish species accounts are comprised of a physical description (including a photograph, when available), distribution map, habitat summary, key life history, ecological information, basis for its status classification, and specific conservation and management recommendations. This revised expansion of the \u003ci\u003eAlabama Wildlife\u003c\/i\u003e set will be helpful to those seeking to broaden their knowledge of Alabama’s vast wildlife resources and will greatly influence future studies in the conservation of many of the imperiled species.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The University of Alabama Press originally released a set of four volumes titled \u003ci\u003eAlabama Wildlife \u003c\/i\u003ein 2004.
