Exploring the ecology of deep-sea hydrothermal vents in a metacommunity framework
Species inhabiting deep-sea hydrothermal vents are strongly influenced by the geological
setting, as it provides the chemical-rich fluids supporting the food web, creates the …

An overview of chemosynthetic symbioses in bivalves from the North Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea
Deep-sea bivalves found at hydrothermal vents, cold seeps and organic falls are sustained
by chemosynthetic bacteria that ensure part or all of their carbon nutrition. These symbioses …

How deep-sea wood falls sustain chemosynthetic life
Large organic food falls to the deep sea–such as whale carcasses and wood logs–are
known to serve as stepping stones for the dispersal of highly adapted chemosynthetic …
