Cold seeps: climate relevance and anthropogenic impacts
Frontiers in Marine ScienceCold seeps are deep-sea benthic features which emit hydrocarbon-rich fluids (primarily methane), representing notable conduits for carbon from long-term geologic stores to the hydrosphere.

Population genetic structure in Sabatieria (Nematoda) reveals intermediary gene flow and admixture between distant cold seeps from the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background There is a general lack of information on the dispersal and genetic structuring for populations of small-sized deep-water taxa, including free-living nematodes which inhabit and dominate the seafloor sediments. This is also true for unique and

Unexpected genetic and microbial diversity for arsenic cycling in deep sea cold seep sediments
npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2023 Cold seeps, where cold hydrocarbon-rich fluid escapes from the seafloor, show strong enrichment of toxic metalloid arsenic (As). The toxicity and mobility of As can be greatly altered by microbial processes that play an important role in global As ...
