Tuesday Crustie: Under the streets of Rome


This week’s crustie is a European river crab (besting a vertebrate - ha!) named Potamon fluviatile. Rob Dunn has an excellent post on the Scientific American Guest Blog about a population living under the streets of Rome that might just be a new species.
