Biogeography and ecology of the rare and abundant microbial lineages in deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
Environmental gradients generate countless ecological niches in deep-sea hydrothermal vent systems, which foster diverse microbial communities. The majority of distinct microbial lineages in these communities occur in very low abundance. However, the ecological role and distribution of rare and abundant lineages, particularly in deep, hot subsurface environments, remain unclear. Here, we use 16...
متن کاملAntarctic Marine Biodiversity and Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vents
The diversity of many marine benthic groups is unlike that of most other taxa. Rather than declining from the tropics to the poles, much of the benthos shows high diversity in the Southern Ocean. Moreover, many species are unique to the Antarctic region. Recent work has shown that this is also true of the communities of Antarctic deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Vent ecosystems have been documented...

متن کاملMicroorganisms as food resources at deep-sea hydrothermal vents
We used stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen to examine the diversity of microbial populations consumed as foods at deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Invertebrate consumers at Gorda and Juan de Fuca Ridge vent sites had variable carbon isotope compositions, implying the use of more than one microbial food resource. 6’C values for consumer invertebrates at Gorda ranged between 13.2% (polynoid polyc...
متن کاملCommunity structure of mussel beds at deep-sea hydrothermal vents
Definition of biogeographic provinces, patterns of species distributions on local and regional scales, species richness, and relative abundances are all basic ecological measures, yet they are largely unknown for deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems. Without an appreciation of biogeographic and biodiversity patterns, it is difficult to understand the evolutionary and ecological processes that ...
