• Meiobenthos at the Arctic Håkon Mosby Mud Volcano, with a parental-caring nematode thriving in sulphide-rich sediments (2006, background): “Sediments of cold-seep ecosystems, ultimately driven by methane seeping from great depths, often harbour a consortium of archaea and bacteria that generates large amounts of sulphide (Boetius et al. 2000, Orphan et al. 2002), which is toxic for many forms of life (Bagarinao 1992).”
