Within the endemic invertebrate faunas of hydrothermal vents, five biogeographic provinces are recognized. Invertebrates at two Indian Ocean vent fields (Kairei and Edmond) belong to a sixth province, despite ecological settings and invertebrate-bacterial symbioses similar to those of both western Pacific and Atlantic vents. 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…

Biogeographic relationships among deep-sea hydrothermal vent faunas at global scale
The discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vent fauna, kilometers deep in the oceans, is a great achievement of 20th-century marine biology. The deep-sea hydrothermal food web does not directly depend on…
Evolution and Biogeography of Deep-Sea Vent and Seep Invertebrates
TLDR
The recent evolution of many vent and seep invertebrate species suggests that Cenozoic tectonic history and oceanic circulation patterns have been important in defining contemporary biogeographic patterns.
Biogeographic relationships among deep-sea hydrothermal vent faunas at global scale
TLDR
This model suggests that the East-Pacific Rise may have played a pivotal role as a centre of dispersal for the hydrothermal fauna and seven possible dispersal pathways between adjacent provinces are identified.
Microdistribution of Faunal Assemblages at Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vents in the Southern Ocean
TLDR
Using ROV videography to obtain a high-resolution representation of a vent environment over a greater extent than previous studies, these results provide a baseline for determining temporal change and investigations of processes structuring faunal assemblages at Southern Ocean vents.
Dispersal at hydrothermal vents: a summary of recent progress
TLDR
The known larval development of vent-endemic invertebrates and the distribution of larvae in relation to the hydrothermal plume, and the ocean ridge in general, are discussed and the experimental evidence of larval longevity and transport are discussed using such variables as gene flow and larvalDevelopment rates.
Dispersal at hydrothermal vents: a summary of recent progress
The discovery of hydrothermal vents along the Galapagos Rift in 1977 opened up one of the most dynamic and productive research themes in marine biology. In the intervening 25 years, hydrothermal vent…
Deep-sea Hydrothermal Vents: Ecology and Evolution
TLDR
Comparative molecular phylogenetics of vent animals revealed that vent faunas are closely related to those of cold-water seeps in general, and additional interesting discoveries are anticipated particularly with further refined and expanded studies aided by new instrumental technologies.
Discovery of New Hydrothermal Activity and Chemosynthetic Fauna on the Central Indian Ridge at 18°–20°S
TLDR
Two newly discovered hydrothermal vent fields, the Dodo and Solitaire fields, which are located in the Central Indian Ridge (CIR) segments 16 and 15, respectively, are reported, with new findings into the biodiversity and biogeography of vent-endemic ecosystems in the Indian Ocean.
Ecology and biogeography of megafauna and macrofauna at the first known deep-sea hydrothermal vents on the ultraslow-spreading Southwest Indian Ridge
The Southwest Indian Ridge is the longest section of very slow to ultraslow-spreading seafloor in the global mid-ocean ridge system, but the biogeography and ecology of its hydrothermal vent fauna…
Structure and Connectivity of Hydrothermal Vent Communities Along the Mid-Ocean Ridges in the West Indian Ocean: A Review
To date, 13 biologically active hydrothermal vent (HTV) fields have been described on the West Indian Ocean ridges. Knowledge of benthic communities of these vent ecosystems serves as scientific…

The biogeography and evolutionary history of animals that live at hydrothermal vents are connected intimately to the spreading history of mid-ocean ridges. Extensive collections from two active ridge…
Hydrothermal Vent Animals: Distribution and Biology
TLDR
There are similarities in the animal distributions at vent communities from 20�S to 46�N on the Mid-Ocean Ridge in the Pacific Ocean and at cold sulfide seeps in the Gulf of Mexico.
First Hydrothermal Vent Communities from the Indian Ocean Discovered
TLDR
The discovery of thriving chemosynthetic communities on a volcanic knoll at the eastern crest of an axial valley supports the hypothesis that there is significant communication between vent faunas in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans via active ridges in the Indian Ocean.
Stable isotopic compositions of hydrothermal vent organisms
TLDR
Nitrogen isotopic analyses show that the food web of the East Pacific Rise community has more trophic levels than the Marianas vent community, suggesting that a 13C-enriched food source is trophically important in both vent communities.
Influence of sea-floor spreading on the global hydrothermal vent fauna
ONE remarkable discovery of recent decades is the presence of hundreds of unusual species, including fourteen new families, at hydrothermal vents. These animals, unknown from other habitats, live in…
Extensive deep-sea dispersal of postlarval shrimp from a hydrothermal vent
TLDR
It is reported here that bresiliid shrimp postlarvae are very widely dispersed around the Broken Spur vent field and extend into the next MAR segment and the Atlantis Fracture Zone beyond, which is the furthest recorded dispersal of identified larvae from a hydrothermal vent.
Trophic ecology of massive shrimp aggregations at a Mid-Atlantic Ridge hydrothermal vent site
TLDR
Overall, the data indicate a nutritional symbiosis of the shrimp with their epibionts and possibly also with a separate gut microflora.
Biogeochemistry: Microbial essentials at hydrothermal vents
TLDR
This work has identified and grown the first microaerophilic, thermophilic eubacterium from a deep-sea hydrothermal chimney, suggesting that these newly discovered thermophile microbes could constitute a large part of the microbial populations in seafloor hydroThermal systems.
The Ecology of Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vents
TLDR
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.
Miocene radiation of deep-sea hydrothermal vent shrimp (Caridea: Bresiliidae): evidence from mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I.
TLDR
Evolutionary relationships of vent-endemic shrimp species did not appear to be correlated either with their extant biogeographic distribution or with the history of sea floor spreading, and COI data suggested that these vent- endemic organisms are not remnants of a Mesozoic vent assemblage; instead, they radiated in the Miocene.
