| Candidatus Rhabdochlamydia porcellionis," an intracellular bacterium from the hepatopancreas of the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber (Crustacea: Isopoda). Martin and Regina Wetzer jointly secured a $280,000 grant in January for a two-year study on the relationships of isopods - the ocean version of a roly-poly bug.
