Endemism shapes viral ecology and evolution in globally distributed hydrothermal vent ecosystems
Nature CommunicationsViruses are ubiquitous in deep-sea hydrothermal vents, where they influence microbial communities and biogeochemistry. Yet, viral ecology and evolution remain understudied in these environments.

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

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Vision in hydrothermal vent shrimp
Philosophical 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 ...

An atlas of protected hydrothermal vents
Marine Policy, 2019 Abstract Active hydrothermal vents are valued worldwide because of the importance of their biodiversity and their influence on scientific discovery and insight about life on Earth and elsewhere in the Universe. There exist at least 20 areas and area networks with conservation measures for deep-sea hydrothermal vents, established by 11 countries and ...

Nature Communications, 2017 The warm subseafloor at deep-sea hydrothermal vents hosts diverse microbial communities. Here, Anderson et al. reconstruct 73 metagenome-assembled genomes from two geochemically distinct hydrothermal vent fields, showing different patterns of genomic ...

Energy Transfer Through Food Webs at Hydrothermal Vents: Linking the Lithosphere to the Biosphere [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 Tectonic and volcanic processes that drive hydrothermal fluid flow and influence its chemistry also regulate the transfer of energy to hydrothermal vent ecosystems.

Biogeochemical Processes at Hydrothermal Vents: Microbes and Minerals, Bioenergetics, and Carbon Fluxes [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 Hydrothermal vents are among the most biologically active regions of the deep ocean. However, our understanding of the limits of life in this extreme environment, the extent of biogeochemical transformation that occurs in the crust and overlying ocean ...

ZooKeys, 2018 The scale-worm family Iphionidae consists of four genera. Of these, Thermiphione has two accepted species, both native to hydrothermal vents in the Pacific Ocean; T. fijiensis Miura, 1994 (West Pacific) and T. tufari Hartmann-Schröder, 1992 (East Pacific
