Biogeography, biodiversity and fluid dependence of deep-sea cold-seep communities at active and passive margins
Abstract To date, several cold-seep areas which fuel chemosynthesis-based benthic communities have been explored, mainly by deployment of manned submersibles. They are located in the Atlantic and in… Expand
Cold seep communities in the deep eastern Mediterranean Sea : composition, symbiosis and spatial distribution on mud volcanoes
- K. O. Roy, M. Sibuet, +5 authors J. Woodside
- Biology, Geology
- 1 December 2004
Two mud volcano fields were explored during the French–Dutch MEDINAUT cruise (1998) with the submersible NAUTILE, one south of Crete along the Mediteranean Ridge at about 2000 m depth (Olimpi mud… Expand

Deep-sea ecosystems represent the largest biome of the global biosphere, but knowledge of their biodiversity is still scant. The Mediterranean basin has been proposed as a hot spot of terrestrial and… Expand
Cold seep communities as indicators of fluid expulsion patterns through mud volcanoes seaward of the Barbados accretionary prism
- K. Olu, Sophie Lance, M. Sibuet, Pierre Henry, A. Fialamedioni, A. Dinet

- 1 May 1997
Cold seep communities are sustained by massive methane-rich fluid expulsion through mud volcanoes located at about 5000 m in the Barbados Trench. These communities, dependent on chemosynthetic… Expand
Long-term change in the megabenthos of the Porcupine Abyssal Plain (NE Atlantic)
- D. Billett, B. Bett, +4 authors G. Wolff
- Biology
- 2001
A radical change in the abundance of invertebrate megafauna on the Porcupine Abyssal Plain is reported over a period of 10 years (1989–1999). Actiniarians, annelids, pycnogonids, tunicates,… Expand
Dual Symbiosis in a Bathymodiolus sp. Mussel from a Methane Seep on the Gabon Continental Margin (Southeast Atlantic): 16S rRNA Phylogeny and Distribution of the Symbionts in Gills

- 1 April 2005
ABSTRACT Deep-sea mussels of the genus Bathymodiolus (Bivalvia: Mytilidae) harbor symbiotic bacteria in their gills and are among the dominant invertebrate species at cold seeps and hydrothermal… Expand
Cold-seep assemblages on a giant pockmark off West Africa: spatial patterns and environmental control

- Geology
- 1 March 2007
A giant pockmark colonised by dense cold-seep assemblages near 3160 m depth along the CongoAngola margin has been surveyed by the ROV Victor 6000. The quantitative distribution of chemosynthetic… Expand
Understanding continental margin biodiversity: a new imperative.
Until recently, the deep continental margins (200-4,000 m) were perceived as monotonous mud slopes of limited ecological or environmental concern. Progress in seafloor mapping and direct observation… Expand

- 31 May 2005
A giant, 800-m wide pockmark, called Regab, was discovered along the Equatorial African margin at 3160-m water depth and was explored by remote operated vehicle (ROV) as part of the Zaiango… Expand
Diversity, relative abundance and metabolic potential of bacterial endosymbionts in three Bathymodiolus mussel species from cold seeps in the Gulf of Mexico.
