Whale-fall ecosystems: recent insights into ecology, paleoecology, and evolution
Whale falls produce remarkable organic-and sulfide-rich habitat islands at the seafloor. The
past decade has seen a dramatic increase in studies of modern and fossil whale remains …

New perspectives on the ecology and evolution of siboglinid tubeworms
Siboglinids are tube-dwelling annelids that are important members of deep-sea
chemosynthetic communities, which include hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, whale falls and …

Succession of Hydrocarbon-Degrading Bacteria in the Aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill produced large subsurface plumes of dispersed oil and gas
in the Gulf of Mexico that stimulated growth of psychrophilic, hydrocarbon degrading …

Natural volcanic CO2 seeps reveal future trajectories for host–microbial associations in corals and sponges
Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels are rapidly rising causing an increase in the partial
pressure of CO2 (p CO2) in the ocean and a reduction in pH known as ocean acidification …

Specificity is rarely absolute in coral–algal symbiosis: implications for coral response to climate change
RN Silverstein, AMS Correa… - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Some reef-building corals have been shown to respond to environmental change by shifting
the composition of their algal symbiont (genus Symbiodinium) communities. These shifts …

Water mass‐specificity of bacterial communities in the North Atlantic revealed by massively parallel sequencing
Bacterial assemblages from subsurface (100 m depth), meso‐(200–1000 m depth) and
bathy‐pelagic (below 1000 m depth) zones at 10 stations along a North Atlantic Ocean …

Distinct genomic routes underlie transitions to specialised symbiotic lifestyles in deep-sea annelid worms
Bacterial symbioses allow annelids to colonise extreme ecological niches, such as
hydrothermal vents and whale falls. Yet, the genetic principles sustaining these symbioses …
