TL;DR: In this article, the first submersible reconnaissance of the Blake Ridge Diapir provides the geological and ecological contexts for chemosynthetic communities established in close association with methane seeps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Higher-taxon richness as a surrogate for species richness in chemosynthetic communities
M.B. Doerries,C. L. Van Dover +1 more
TL;DR: A higher-taxon approach was applied to well-documented chemosynthetic communities associated with seep and vent mussel beds to test its applicability in deep-sea marine ecosystems, and significant positive correlations between cumulative number of species and cumulative numberOf higher taxa were found at the generic, family, and order levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Community structure in mussel beds at Logatchev hydrothermal vents and a comparison of macrofaunal species richness on slow‐ and fast‐spreading mid‐ocean ridges
C. L. Van Dover,M.B. Doerries +1 more
TL;DR: Criteria–effort curves and univariate measures of diversity do not support the claim that diversity of vent organisms on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is highest at Logatchev, at least when one assesses this within a habitat type, and the relationship between sea-floor spreading rate and diversity was explored.
