Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

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.

Genomic variation in microbial populations inhabiting the marine subseafloor at deep-sea hydrothermal vents

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Phylogeny of hydrothermal vent Iphionidae, with the description of a new species (Aphroditiformia, Annelida)

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

Establishing community structure and diversity within hydrothermal vent bacterial communities of the East Pacific Rise at 9°50′N

Microbiology Spectrum
Hydrothermal vents along the East Pacific Rise at 9°50′N support diverse microbial and animal communities driven by chemosynthesis. This study uses microbial growth chambers to investigate microbial colonization dynamics and community structure across ...

Diversity of coatings on hydrothermal vent gastropods

Scientific Reports
Abstract Shells of hydrothermal vent gastropods are often covered by inorganic coatings whose chemical composition, formation mechanisms, and possible function remain poorly understood. We investigated the mineral coatings of six vent gastropod specimens (one each of the species Lepetodrilus ...

Evolutionary origins of hydrothermal vents metazoans

BIO Web of Conferences, 2015
The discovery of the oases associated with hydrothermal vents in the deep sea, is probably the most fascinating discovery of oceanography of the last century.
