Book
The Ecology of Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vents
TL;DR: The book concludes by exploring the possibility that life originated at hydrothermal vents, a hypothesis that has had tremendous impact on ideas about the potential for life on other planets or planetary bodies in the authors' solar system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Man and the last great wilderness: human impact on the deep sea.
Eva Ramirez-Llodra,Paul A. Tyler,Maria Baker,Odd Aksel Bergstad,Malcolm R. Clark,Elva Escobar,Lisa A. Levin,Lenaick Menot,Ashley A. Rowden,Craig R. Smith,Cindy Lee Van Dover +10 more
TL;DR: The analysis shows how the most significant anthropogenic activities that affect the deep sea have evolved from mainly disposal to exploitation and predicts that from now and into the future, increases in atmospheric CO2 and facets of climate change will have the most impact on deep-sea habitats and their fauna.
Journal ArticleDOI
An obligately photosynthetic bacterial anaerobe from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent
J. Thomas Beatty,Jörg Overmann,Michael T. Lince,Ann K. Manske,Andrew S. Lang,Robert E. Blankenship,Cindy Lee Van Dover,Tracey A. Martinson,F. Gerald Plumley +8 more
TL;DR: This work describes the isolation and cultivation of a previously unknown green sulfur bacterial species from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent, where the only source of light is geothermal radiation that includes wavelengths absorbed by photosynthetic pigments of this organism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrothermal Vents and Methane Seeps: Rethinking the Sphere of Influence
Lisa A. Levin,Amy R. Baco,David A. Bowden,Ana Colaço,Erik E. Cordes,Marina R. Cunha,Amanda W.J. Demopoulos,Judith Gobin,Benjamin M. Grupe,Jennifer T. Le,Anna Metaxas,Amanda N. Netburn,Greg W. Rouse,Andrew R. Thurber,Verena Tunnicliffe,Cindy Lee Van Dover,Ann Vanreusel,Les Watling +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize current knowledge of the nature, extent and time and space scales of vent and seep interactions with background systems, and document an expanded footprint beyond the site of local venting or seepage with respect to elemental cycling and energy flux, habitat use, trophic interactions, and connectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stable isotope evidence for entry of sewage-derived organic material into a deep-sea food web
TL;DR: Using stable isotope ratios of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur as tracers of sewage-derived organic material, the authors showed that this material reaches the sea floor and enters the benthic food web, specifically through surface-deposit feeding activities of the urchin, Echinus affinus and the sea cucumber, Benthodytes sanguinolenta.
