• High species richness in deep-sea chemoautotrophic whale skeleton communities (2003, background): “In fact, whale skeletons may act as dispersal and evolutionary stepping-stones for species dependent on chemoautotrophy (Smith et al. 1989, Baco et al. 1999, unpubl. data, Distel et al. 2000, Baco-Taylor 2002, Smith & Baco 2003).”
• The ecology of rafting in the marine environment. I: The floating substrata (2004, background): “The fact that several highly specialised species have evolved on sunken wood and animal remains in the deep sea (Knudsen 1970, Distel et al. 2000) suggests that these natural floating items are carried to the open ocean in sufficient quantities to sustain this fauna, and also were supplied…”
• ECOLOGY OF WHALE FALLS AT THE DEEP-SEA FLOOR (2003, background): “These communities are dominated by mytilid mussels closely related to I. washingtonia (Distel et al. 2000, BacoTaylor 2002, Baco et al., unpubl. data), many of which appear to derive nutrition from chemoautotrophic production (Baco-Taylor 2002, Baco et al., unpubl. data).”
• Vetigastropod phylogeny and a new concept of Seguenzioidea: independent evolution of copulatory organs in the deep‐sea habitats (2007, background): “The latter environment includes hydrothermal-vent and sunken-wood communities, where a number of phylogenetically and ecologically unique organisms have been discovered (Marshall 1988; Distel et al. 2000; Little & Vrijenhoek 2003).”
• Phylogenetic diversity of culturable fungi from the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Basin and their growth characteristics (2010, background): “Similar route for several mussels in the deep-sea vents has been hypothesized (Distel et al. 2000).”
