Diffuse flow environments within basalt- and sediment-based hydrothermal vent ecosystems harbor specialized microbial communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Hydrothermal vents differ both in surface input and subsurface geochemistry. The effects of these differences on their microbial communities are not clear.

Diverse Viruses in Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vent Fluids Have Restricted Dispersal across Ocean Basins

open access: yesmSystems, 2021
Viruses play important roles in manipulating microbial communities and their evolution in the ocean, yet not much is known about viruses in deep-sea hydrothermal vents.

Long-Term Stability of Back-Arc Basin Hydrothermal Vents

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Since the discovery of hydrothermal vents 40-years ago, long-term time-series have focused on mid-ocean ridge systems. Based on these studies, hydrothermal vents are widely considered to be dynamic, ephemeral habitats.

Trophic diversity of chemosymbiont hosts in deep-sea hydrothermal vents using amino acid nitrogen isotopes

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Chemosymbiotic species inhabiting deep-sea hydrothermal vents are known to rely on microbial symbionts for nutrition. However, the relative contributions of heterotrophic energy sources to their diets remain poorly understood.

Adaptations to submarine hydrothermal environments exemplified by the genome of Nautilia profundicola [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Submarine hydrothermal vents are model systems for the Archaean Earth environment, and some sites maintain conditions that may have favored the formation and evolution of cellular life.

Macrofaunal ecology of sedimented hydrothermal vents in the Bransfield Strait, Antarctica

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2016
Sedimented hydrothermal vents, where hot, mineral-rich water flows through sediment, are poorly understood globally, both in their distribution and the ecology of individual vent fields.

Do Hydrothermal Shrimp Smell Vents?

open access: yesInsects, 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,

Numerical Simulation Study of Seafloor Hydrothermal Circulation Based on HydrothermalFoam: A Case Study of the Wocan-1 Hydrothermal Field, Carlsberg Ridge, Indian Ocean

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Deep-sea hydrothermal circulation plays a pivotal role in the material and energy exchange in deep-sea environments, exerting significant influence on the evolution of seawater chemistry and global climate dynamics. Based on existing data and assumptions,

Distribution Patterns and Diversity of Sedimental Microbial Communities in the Tianxiu Hydrothermal Field of Carlsberg Ridge

open access: yesOceans
Hydrothermal vents, widely occurring along middle-ocean ridges and volcanic arcs, have been well-studied in vent-associated microbiology, mineralogy, and geochemistry. However, there are rarely investigations regarding the detailed microbial community in

Effects of Substrate Composition and Subsurface Fluid Pathways on the Geochemistry of Seafloor Hydrothermal Deposits at the Lucky Strike Vent Field, Mid‐Atlantic Ridge

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
The Lucky Strike vent field, located on the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge (MAR), is hosted on enriched mid‐ocean ridge basalt associated with the nearby Azores hotspot. In this study, we present bulk rock geochemistry coupled with in situ sulfur isotope analysis of
