Identification of fossil worm tubes from Phanerozoic hydrothermal vents and cold seeps [PDF]
One of the main limitations to understanding the evolutionary history of hydrothermal vent and cold seep communities is the identification of tube fossils from ancient deposits.

Biomarker Indicators of Cold Seeps
AbstractLipid biomarkers of seep carbonates and sediments retrieved from the Dongsha area, Shenhu, Site F and Haima in the South China Sea (SCS) over the last two decades were studied. Biomarker inventories, microbial consortia, seepage dynamics, and biogeochemical processes of anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), aerobic oxidation of methane (AeOM ...

Structure and Drivers of Cold Seep Ecosystems [PDF]
Submarine hydrocarbon seeps are geologically driven "hotspots" of increased biological activity on the seabed. As part of the HERMES project, several sites of natural hydrocarbon seepage in the European seas were investigated in detail, including mud volcanoes and pockmarks, in study areas extending from the Nordic margin, to the Gulf of Cádiz, to the ...

Little is known about genetic heterogeneity within deep sea cold seep microbial populations. From examining 39 abundant microbial species identified in sediment layers below the sea floor and across six cold seep sites, this study reports that their ...

Deep-Sea Carbonates Are a Reservoir of Fossil Microbes Previously Inhabiting Cold Seeps
Carbonates are globally distributed particularly around deep-sea cold seeps. The embedded microbes are fossil records of the past bioprocess but metagenomes of the carbonates have not been fully studied.

Taxonomic revision of two dominant Munidopsis species (Decapoda, Anomura, Munidopsidae) from the cold seeps in the northern South China Sea: new records and complementary descriptions [PDF]
Munidopsis species represent some of the dominant macrobenthos in cold seep habitats of the northern South China Sea. Earlier studies documented high abundances of M. verrilli Benedict, 1902 at Site F cold seep and M.

First documented record of a living solemyid bivalve in a pockmark of the Nile Deep-sea Fan (eastern Mediterranean Sea) [PDF]
A living specimen of a solemyid bivalve was collected at bathyal depths near a pockmark in the Nile Deep-sea Fan (eastern Mediterranean) and is here presented.

‘Cold’ seeps (or cold vents) are seafloor manifestations of fluid migration through sediments from the subsurface to the seabed and into the water column, and may reach the atmosphere. They are an important but not fully understood process in our oceans that has important repercussions on human society and on the climate.
