Vision in hydrothermal vent shrimp [PDF]

open access: greenPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2000
Bresiliid shrimp from hydrothermal vents on the Mid–Atlantic Ridge have non–imaging eyes adapted for photodetection in light environments of very low intensity. Comparison of retinal structures between both vent shrimp and surface–dwelling shrimp with imaging eyes, and between juvenile and adult vent shrimp, suggests that vent shrimp have evolved from ...

Microbial essentials at hydrothermal vents [PDF]

open access: bronzeNature, 2000
Hot, anoxic fluids emerging from deep-sea hydrothermal vents mix suddenly with cold oxygenated sea water, providing ideal microbial niches for organisms that need limited amounts of oxygen. We have now identified and grown the first microaerophilic, thermophilic eubacterium from a deep-sea hydrothermal chimney.

Hydrothermal vent chimney-base sediments as unique habitat for meiobenthos and nanobenthos: Observations on millimeter-scale distributions

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Hydrothermal vents are critical to marine geochemical cycling and ecosystem functioning. Although hydrothermal vent-associated megafauna and chemoautotrophic prokaryotes have received extensive dedicated study, smaller hydrothermal vent-associated ...

Microbial communities of Auka hydrothermal sediments shed light on vent biogeography and the evolutionary history of thermophily

open access: yesThe ISME Journal, 2022
Hydrothermal vents have been key to our understanding of the limits of life, and the metabolic and phylogenetic diversity of thermophilic organisms. Here we used environmental metagenomics combined with analysis of physicochemical data and 16S rRNA gene ...

Cutting through the smoke: the diversity of microorganisms in deep-sea hydrothermal plumes [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2017
There are still notable gaps regarding the detailed distribution of microorganisms between and within insular habitats such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents.

Virus diversity and interactions with hosts in deep-sea hydrothermal vents

open access: yesMicrobiome, 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 ...

Drifting in the deep: Metatranscriptomics and metabarcoding reveal sustained metabolic activity and community composition in hydrothermal vent plume microbial communities

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The deep sea is the largest habitat on our planet, supporting a vast diversity of organisms which have yet to be fully described. This habitat is punctuated by hydrothermal vents in which energy derived from chemosynthesis drives carbon fixation ...

Organic Biogeochemistry in West Mata, NE Lau Hydrothermal Vent Fields

open access: yesGeochemistry, 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.
