Hydrothermal vents and methane seeps: rethinking the sphere of influence
Although initially viewed as oases within a barren deep ocean, hydrothermal vents and
methane seep chemosynthetic communities are now recognized to interact with surrounding …

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 …

The influence of geological, geochemical, and biogenic habitat heterogeneity on seep biodiversity
Cold seeps are among the most heterogeneous of all continental margin habitats. Abiotic
sources of heterogeneity in these systems include local variability in fluid flow, geochemistry …

Widespread occurrence of an intranuclear bacterial parasite in vent and seep bathymodiolin mussels
FU Zielinski, A Pernthaler, S Duperron… - Environmental …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Many parasitic bacteria live in the cytoplasm of multicellular animals, but only a few are
known to regularly invade their nuclei. In this study, we describe the novel bacterial parasite …

Biogeography and potential exchanges among the Atlantic equatorial belt cold-seep faunas
Like hydrothermal vents along oceanic ridges, cold seeps are patchy and isolated
ecosystems along continental margins, extending from bathyal to abyssal depths. The …
