Thermotogota diversity and distribution patterns revealed in Auka and JaichMaa ‘ja ‘ag hydrothermal vent fields in the Pescadero Basin, Gulf of California [PDF]
PeerJDiscovering new deep hydrothermal vent systems is one of the biggest challenges in ocean exploration. They are a unique window to elucidate the physical, geochemical, and biological processes that occur on the seafloor and are involved in the evolution ...

Transcriptomics of the Anthopleura Sea Anemone Reveals Unique Adaptive Strategies to Shallow‐Water Hydrothermal Vent [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe nonsymbiotic sea anemone Anthopleura nigrescens dominates the shallow‐water hydrothermal vents off the coast of Kueishan Island, Taiwan. These vents represent some of the world's most extreme environments, with recorded pH values as low as 1.52 and ...

Do Hydrothermal Shrimp Smell Vents? [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Deep-sea species endemic to hydrothermal vents face the critical challenge of detecting active sites in a vast environment devoid of sunlight. This certainly requires specific sensory abilities, among which olfaction could be a relevant sensory modality,

Virus diversity and interactions with hosts in deep-sea hydrothermal vents
Microbiome, 2022 Background The deep sea harbors many viruses, yet their diversity and interactions with hosts in hydrothermal ecosystems are largely unknown. Here, we analyzed the viral composition, distribution, host preference, and metabolic potential in different ...

Organic Biogeochemistry in West Mata, NE Lau Hydrothermal Vent Fields
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 The impact of submarine hydrothermal systems on organic carbon in the ocean—one of the largest fixed carbon reservoirs on Earth—could be profound. Yet, different vent sites show diverse fluid chemical compositions and the subsequent biological responses.

Widespread diffuse venting and large microbial iron-mounds in the Red Sea
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 For decades, hydrothermal activity along the Red Sea Rift was only inferred from metalliferous sediments and hot brines. Active hydrothermal fluid discharge was never directly observed from this young ocean basin, but could be key to understanding the ...
