• Characteristics of meiofauna in extreme marine ecosystems: a review (2018, background): “Bones are then colonised by microorganisms or chemoautotrophs using sulphur as respiratory metabolites (Smith and Baco 2003; Fujiwara et al. 2007), as well as by specialised bone-eating polychaetes of the genus Osedax (Rouse et al. 2004) and, finally, by suspension feeders.”
• Symbiotic diversity in marine animals: the art of harnessing chemosynthesis (2008, background): “Whale falls in shallow waters lack the chemosynthetic vesicomyid clams found at deep-sea whale falls, but the gutless worm Osedax has been found on whale falls in waters as shallow as 30 metre”
• Time-series analysis of six whale-fall communities in Monterey Canyon, California, USA (2010, unknown): “Fujiwara et al. (2007) reported no overlap between whale-fall inhabitants and species found at nearby seeps and vents off the coast of Japan.”
