Journal ArticleDOI
Osedax: Bone-Eating Marine Worms with Dwarf Males
TL;DR: A new genus, Osedax, and two new species of annelids with females that consume the bones of dead whales via ramifying roots are described, which belongs to the Siboglinidae, which includes pogonophoran and vestimentiferan worms from deep-sea vents, seeps, and anoxic basins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biogeography and Ecological Setting of Indian Ocean Hydrothermal Vents
C. L. Van Dover,Susan E. Humphris,D. J. Fornari,Colleen M. Cavanaugh,R. Collier,Shana K. Goffredi,J. Hashimoto,Marvin D. Lilley,Anna-Louise Reysenbach,Timothy M. Shank,K. L. Von Damm,Amy B. Banta,R. M. Gallant,Dorothee Götz,Darryl R H Green,J. M. Hall,Tara L. Harmer,Luis A. Hurtado,P. Johnson,Z. P. McKiness,C. Meredith,Eric J. Olson,Irvin L. Pan,Mary Turnipseed,Y. Won,Curtis R. Young,Robert C. Vrijenhoek +26 more
TL;DR: Most organisms found at these Indian Ocean vent fields have evolutionary affinities with western Pacific vent faunas, but a shrimp that ecologically dominates Indian Ocean vents closely resembles its Mid-Atlantic counterpart.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diverse syntrophic partnerships from deep-sea methane vents revealed by direct cell capture and metagenomics
Annelie Pernthaler,Anne E. Dekas,C. Titus Brown,Shana K. Goffredi,Tsegereda Embaye,Victoria J. Orphan +5 more
TL;DR: This method is used to purify syntrophic anaerobic methane oxidizing ANME-2c archaea and physically associated microorganisms directly from deep-sea marine sediment and suggests a possible role in new nitrogen inputs by these syntrophic assemblages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blake Ridge methane seeps: characterization of a soft-sediment, chemosynthetically based ecosystem
C. L. Van Dover,Paul Aharon,Joan M. Bernhard,E. Caylor,M.B. Doerries,W. B. Flickinger,William P. Gilhooly,Shana K. Goffredi,Kathleen E. Knick,Stephen A. Macko,S. Rapoport,E.C. Raulfs,Carolyn D. Ruppel,Jennifer L. Salerno,Rochelle D. Seitz,B.K. Sen Gupta,Timothy M. Shank,Mary Turnipseed,Robert C. Vrijenhoek +18 more
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
Evolutionary innovation: a bone-eating marine symbiosis.
Shana K. Goffredi,Victoria J. Orphan,Greg W. Rouse,Greg W. Rouse,Linda L. Jahnke,Tsegeria Embaye,Kendra A. Turk,Raymond W. Lee,Robert C. Vrijenhoek +8 more
TL;DR: A new symbiosis between marine polychaetes of the genus Osedax and members of the bacterial group Oceanospirillales, known for heterotrophic degradation of complex organic compounds, is documented.
