In marine species experiencing intense fishing pressures, knowledge of genetic structure
and local adaptation represent a critical information to assist sustainable management. In …

Understanding drivers of biodiversity patterns is essential to evaluate the potential impact of
deep-sea mining on ecosystems resilience. While the South West Pacific forms an …

The snail Provanna glabra is a dominant species inhabiting both hydrothermal vents and
cold seeps of the Northwest Pacific Ocean. The genetic diversity and population structure of …

In highly fragmented and relatively stable cold-seep ecosystems, species are expected to
exhibit high migration rates and long-distance dispersal of long-lived pelagic larvae to …

For endemic benthos inhabiting hydrothermal vent fields, larval recruitment is critical for
population maintenance and colonization via migration among separated sites. The vent …

Copepoda is the most abundant taxon in deep‐sea hydrothermal vents, where hard
substrate is available. Despite the increasing interest in seafloor massive sulphides …

Neomphaloidean gastropods are endemic to chemosynthesis-based ecosystems ranging
from hot vents to organic falls, and their diversity and evolutionary history remain poorly …

Deep-sea hydrothermal vent systems are under investigation for base and precious metal
exploitations. The impact of mining will depend critically on the ability of larval dispersal to …

Molluscs have undergone many transitions between separate sexes and hermaphroditism,
which is of interest in studying the evolution of sex determination and differentiation. Here …
