Phylogeny and New Classification of Hydrothermal Vent and Seep Shrimps of the Family Alvinocarididae (Decapoda)
The paper addresses the phylogeny and classification of the hydrothermal vent shrimp family Alvinocarididae. Two morphological cladistic analyses were carried out, which use all 31 recognized species of Alvinocarididae as terminal taxa. As outgroups, two species were included, both representing major caridean clades: Acanthephyra purpurea (Acanthephyridae) and Alpheus echiurophilus (Alpheidae)....
متن کاملHydrothermal vent ecosystems and representative hyperthermophilic microorganisms
One of the most spectacular events of the present century, concerning all biological and environmental disciplines, was the discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents around the Galapagos Islands, during the late 1970s. This remarkable scientific accomplishment was achieved thanks to the extensive work carried out by oceanographers and geologists. A significant role in terms of scientific support...
متن کاملThe hydrothermal vent bivalve Bathymodiolus azoricus
Hydrothermal environments are characterised by high metal concentrations related to interactions of the convective seawater circulation with basaltic rocks inside the ocean crust. Thus, hydrothermal fluids are enriched with, among other toxic metals, mercury (Hg) that becomes bioavailable to vent macro invertebrates and that may determine development of specialised defence mechanisms. Unusually...
متن کاملToward a mechanistic understanding of larval dispersal: insights from genomic fingerprinting of the deep-sea hydrothermal vent tubeworm Riftia pachyptila
Since the discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents, questions have persisted as to how populations along the midocean ridge system are maintained through larval dispersal and successful colonization. The highly ephemeral nature and the vast distances separating these disjunct habitat ‘islands’ were expected to affect the genetic structure of individual species (Grassle 1985; Jollivet et al. 199...
متن کاملIdentification of Chemoautotrophic Microorganisms from a Diffuse Flow Hydrothermal Vent
At deep-sea hydrothermal vents chemolithoautotrophic microbes mediate the transfer of geothermal chemical energy to higher trophic levels. To better understand these underlying processes and the organisms catalyzing them, this research used DNA Stable Isotope Probing (SIP) combined with Catalyzed Activated Reporter Deposition-Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (CARD-FISH) to identify the microo...
