Unexpected scarcity of ANME archaea in hydrocarbon seeps within Monterey Bay [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences
Marine hydrocarbon seeps typically harbor a relatively predictable microbiome, including anaerobic methanotrophic (ANME) archaea. Here, we sampled two cold seeps in Monterey Bay, CA – Clam Field and Extrovert Cliff – which have been known for decades but

Comparing species accumulation within taxonomically well‐ and poorly resolved insect groups over 37 years

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Here, we used a unique 37‐year (1969–2006) freshwater macroinvertebrate time‐series, collected over seven sites in central Germany, to study biodiversity patterns and species accumulation over time. Accumulation curves of Diptera diversity have not reached a plateau in 37 years of sampling.

Acoustic investigation of cold seeps offshore Georgia, eastern Black Sea

open access: yes, 2006
Several gas seeps and near-surface gas hydrate deposits have been identified in 850–900-m water depth on the continental slope offshore Batumi, Georgia (eastern Black Sea) using deep-towed high-resolution sidescan sonar data.

Thermogenesis‐derived spatiotemporal microclimates guide pollinator movement to ensure pollination

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Alocasia odora's microclimatic heterogeneity guides Colocasiomyia fly movement within its inflorescence. During the female stage, midday heat in the upper spadix pushes flies down to the cooler female zone. During the male stage, nocturnal warmth in the upper part pulls flies upward and spathe constriction closes the lower female chamber.

Seafloor oxygen consumption fuelled by methane from cold seeps.

open access: yes, 2013
The leakage of cold, methane-rich fluids from subsurface reservoirs to the sea floor at specific sites on continental slopes, termed cold seeps, sustains some of the richest ecosystems on the sea bed.

Methane cold seeps as biological oases in the high-Arctic deep sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Cold seeps can support unique faunal communities via chemosynthetic interactions fueled by seabed emissions of hydrocarbons. Additionally, cold seeps can enhance habitat complexity at the deep seafloor through the accretion of methane derived authigenic ...

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Benthic communities at high-Arctic cold seeps: Faunal response to methane seepage in Svalbard [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Cold seeps are chemosynthetic habitats found in both deep sea and shallow ocean-shelves worldwide, including the polar regions. At seeps, hydrocarbons, sulfide, and other reduced compounds emerge from the seafloor, providing energy to fuel ...

Deep-Sea Cold Seep Campylobacterota: Diversity, Growth, Metabolic Characteristics, and Nutrient Production

open access: yesMicroorganisms
Deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems, including cold seeps and hydrothermal vents, are widely spread in global oceans. Campylobacterota are important primary producers in deep-sea hydrothermal vents and serve as a vital food source for local invertebrates.

Geological Study of Active Cold Seeps in the Syn-collision Accretionary Prism Kaoping Slope off SW Taiwan

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2006
Pogonophoran tube worms, elongated pyrite tubes and authigenic carbonate nodules are used to evaluate the occurrence of potential cold seeps in the syn-collision accretionary prism Kaoping Slope off SW Taiwan.
