Omschrijving
Alabama rivers and waterways are home to the largest and diverse population of freshwater mussel species in the nation, roughly 60 per cent of US mussel fauna. This title offers encyclopedic entries on each of the 178 mussel species identified in Alabama and the Mobile River Basin.
[The authors] have thrown a searchlight on one of the richest and most imperiled assemblages in North America. The mussel fauna of Alabama and in the Mobile Basin of adjacent states comprises dozens of invertebrate equivalents of the Ivorybilled Woodpecker which, when their images are magnified, project an equal mystery and beauty. - from the Foreword by E. O. Wilson
