Endemism shapes viral ecology and evolution in globally distributed hydrothermal vent ecosystems

open access: yesNature Communications
Viruses are ubiquitous in deep-sea hydrothermal vents, where they influence microbial communities and biogeochemistry. Yet, viral ecology and evolution remain understudied in these environments.

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

On the Potential for Bioenergy and Biofuels from Hydrothermal Vent Microbes [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2012
The discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents caused scientists to reconsider their notions about life in the deep sea. In these seemingly inhospitable environments, free-living microbes, as well as microbial-animal symbioses, thrive in the warm waters ...

Ecology and biogeography of megafauna and macrofauna at the first known deep-sea hydrothermal vents on the ultraslow-spreading Southwest Indian Ridge

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
The Southwest Indian Ridge is the longest section of very slow to ultraslow-spreading seafloor in the global mid-ocean ridge system, but the biogeography and ecology of its hydrothermal vent fauna are previously unknown.

Membrane Gas Separation for CO2 Capture From Flue Gas: Materials, Modules, Processes, and Application Prospects for Coal‐Fired Power Plant Retrofitting

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
This review systematically covers the full CO₂ flue gas membrane separation chain, finding it cuts energy use by ∼30% versus amine methods, yet faces stability and cost hurdles for large‐scale application. ABSTRACT As global climate change becomes increasingly severe, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies have emerged as a ...

The Climate Niche Pressure on the Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau Predominates the Diversification of Advertisement Calls in Frogs (Leptobrachella)

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The diversification of advertisement calls is largely driven by climatic niche differentiation. Our results provide acoustic evidence for studies on ecological speciation in anurans.

DeepZoo: A cost‐effective and modular sampler for ecological studies in the deep ocean

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the structure and dynamics of deep‐ocean communities requires effective sampling of pelagic organisms in near‐bottom waters. These dispersive organisms contribute to biodiversity, connectivity and ecosystem recovery. Yet, current sampling methods remain constrained by size, cost, and depth, leaving key questions unanswered in ...

The chemistry of iron in hydrothermal plumes

open access: yes, 2008
This thesis investigates the role of submarine hydrothermal vents in the global marine Febudget. While debate continues over the sources of dissolved Fe to the global deep-oceandissolved Fe budget, it had been presumed, until recently, that all the Fe ...

Topology‐based Visual Analysis of Hydrothermal Plumes

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Hydrothermal plumes are turbulent structures of intense heat and mineral smoke that rise and disperse into the deep ocean. Existing models generally characterize these systems as a single axisymmetric plume originating from a point source. However, this assumption breaks down in weakly venting, spatially distributed systems, where low‐flux ...
