Cold seeps are widely distributed along continental margins across the globe and serve as highly productive hotspots. Microbial communities in such seeps can be several orders of magnitude more abundant than those in the surrounding marine sediments, potentially impacting how microbial populations evolve o...
Egg-case nursery sites for members of the genus Bathyraja have been previously identified across most ocean basins and in diverse habitats like rocky reefs, submarine canyons, seamounts or even methane cold seeps17,24,25. Hydrothermal vent sites may also have other advantages as a juvenile nursery...
Cold seeps, where cold hydrocarbon-rich fluid escapes from the seafloor, show strong enrichment of toxic metalloid arsenic (As). The toxicity and mobility of As can be greatly altered by microbial processes that play an important role in global As biogeochemical cycling. However, a global overview...

Deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps are extreme ecosystems where geological processes fuel benthic communities with chemosynthetic energy. For this study meiofaunal diversity and abundance were examined from hydrothermal vents at the East Pacific Rise and from cold seeps in the G...
They harbor unique and largely endemic faunal communities, and the origin of these faunas has been under debate since they were discovered in the 1970's and 80's. The fossil record shows that most of the taxa living at vents and seeps today arrived there during the last 150 Million years....
