Hydrothermal vents and the origin of life
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2008Submarine hydrothermal vents are geochemically reactive habitats that harbour rich microbial communities. There are striking parallels between the chemistry of the H(2)-CO(2) redox couple that is present in hydrothermal systems and the core energy metabolic reactions of some modern prokaryotic autotrophs.

The Origin of Life in Alkaline Hydrothermal Vents
Astrobiology, 2016Over the last 70 years, prebiotic chemists have been very successful in synthesizing the molecules of life, from amino acids to nucleotides. Yet there is strikingly little resemblance between much of this chemistry and the metabolic pathways of cells, in terms of substrates, catalysts, and synthetic pathways.

Geomicrobiology of Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vents
Science, 1985During the cycling of seawater through the earth's crust along the mid-ocean ridge system, geothermal energy is transferred into chemical energy in the form of reduced inorganic compounds. These compounds are derived from the reaction of seawater with crustal rocks at high temperatures and are emitted from warm (≤25°C) and hot (∼350°C) submarine vents ...

Scientists as Stakeholders in Conservation of Hydrothermal Vents
Conservation Biology, 2011Abstract: Hydrothermal vents are deep‐sea ecosystems that are almost exclusively known and explored by scientists rather than the general public. Continuing scientific discoveries arising from study of hydrothermal vents are concommitant with the increased number of scientific cruises visiting and sampling vent

Diversity at hydrothermal vents
Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2003ABSTRACTAimTo describe patterns of hydrothermal vent community diversity and dispersion at the intersegment scale (> 100 km).LocationThe area discussed is an approximately 170 km portion of the Juan de Fuca Ridge, a mid‐ocean ridge in the north‐east Pacific Ocean.MethodsSamples of benthic invertebrates from hydrothermal vents on three segments of ...

Hydrothermal Vent Animals: Distribution and Biology
Science, 1985Hydrothermal vent communities characterized by large clams, mussels, and vestimentiferan worms thrive on chemosynthetic microbial production. There are similarities in the animal distributions at vent communities from 20°S to 46°N on the Mid-Ocean Ridge in the Pacific Ocean and at cold sulfide seeps in the Gulf of Mexico.

Geological indexes of hydrothermal venting
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1996Hydrothermal venting occurs on mid‐ocean ridge axes with a diverse array of morphological, structural, and petrological characteristics. Consequently, it is not clear if certain geological environments are more conducive than others to hydrothermal activity.
