Role of thermal conditions in habitat selection by hydrothermal vent gastropods (2005, unknown): “Maximum temperatures in these flows do not exceed 22°C, unlike the extreme temperatures reported for alvinellid polychaetes (Chevaldonné et al. 1992, Chevaldonné 2000, 12 Di Meo-Savoie et al. 2004).”
Temperature resistance of Hesiolyra bergi, a polychaetous annelid living on deep-sea vent smoker walls (2001, background): “Such data inevitably pose the question of temperature tolerance of these ‘hot pole’ hydrothermal vent species (Fisher 1998, Chevaldonné et al. 2000), especially since biochemical data (Somero 1992) suggest that these same thermophilic species may not survive prolonged exposure to temperatures above…”
How does the annelid Alvinella pompejana deal with an extreme hydrothermal environment? (2007, unknown): “…microhabitats associated to Alvinella pompejana colonies (adapted from Le Bris et al. 2005) relevance of this value was strongly debated and several artifacts were suggested, including disturbance of the animal behavior or piercing the tube when inserting the probe (Chevaldonné et al. 2000).”
