, 2023 AbstractEstablishing symbiosis between bacteria and invertebrates can significantly enhance energy transfer efficiency between them, which may aid in shaping the flourishing community in deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems, including cold seeps, hydrothermal vents, and organic falls.

Microbial communities of deep-sea methane seeps at Hikurangi continental margin (New Zealand). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The methane-emitting cold seeps of Hikurangi margin (New Zealand) are among the few deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems of the Southern Hemisphere known to date. Here we compared the biogeochemistry and microbial communities of a variety of Hikurangi cold

Different Nitrogen Sources Fuel Symbiotic Mussels at Cold Seeps
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Cold seeps globally host dense unique oasis-type ecosystems, mainly fuelled by chemosynthetic microorganisms via reduced gases such as methane and hydrogen sulfide.

Springs from cold rocky landforms: icy seeps in warming mountains
, 2023 The decline of cold environments is among the major effects of climate change. In mountain areas, freshwater habitats have been warming as a result of increasing air temperature, reduction of the snowmelt period, and glacier recession. However, most high-

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Cold seeps where methane-rich fluids escape from the seafloor generally support enormous biomass of chemosynthetic organisms and associated fauna. In addition to transporting a great amount of methane toward the seafloor, cold seeps also contribute to ...

Marcasite at the Permian‐Triassic Transition
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 377-399., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Efficiency and adaptability of the benthic methane filter at Quepos Slide cold seeps, offshore of Costa Rica [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 Large amounts of methane are delivered by fluids through the erosive forearc of the convergent margin offshore of Costa Rica and lead to the formation of cold seeps at the sediment surface.

Genomic and enzymatic evidence of acetogenesis by anaerobic methanotrophic archaea
Nature Communications, 2020 Ocean cold seeps are poorly understood relative to related systems like hydrothermal vents. Here the authors use high pressure bioreactors and microbial communities from a cold seep mud volcano and find a previously missing step of methane conversion to ...
