Amphi-Atlantic cold-seep Bathymodiolus species complexes across the equatorial belt (2007, background): “The second and the third hypotheses may represent a valid explanation for species associated with cold seeps and have been previously invoked to reconcile paleontological and molecular data for vestimentiferan tubeworms (Little and Vrijenhoek, 2003).”
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).”
