Fossil clams from a serpentinite‐hosted sedimented vent field near the active smoker complex Rainbow, MAR, 36°13′N: Insight into the biogeography of vent fauna (2010, background): “[2] In contrast to the vast majority of deep‐sea communities, hydrothermal vent assemblages are exceptional in their biomass, distribution and composition [Hessler and Smithey, 1983; Desbruyères et al., 2000].”
Resistance of Microorganisms to Extreme Environmental Conditions and Its Contribution to Astrobiology (2010, background): “Deep sea hydrothermal vent communities are found near subsurface volcanoes and at the boundary between seawater and magma, usually kilometers beneath the ocean surface [17].”
Amphi-Atlantic cold-seep Bathymodiolus species complexes across the equatorial belt (2007, background): “Specimens of B. azoricus and B. puteoserpentis were collected along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) with the Nautile (MARVEL and MICROSMOKE cruises).”
Decapod crustaceans from hydrothermal vents and cold seeps: a review through 2005 (2005, background): “Mirocaris fortunata appears to have the broadest range of any alvinocaridid shrimp, occurring at seven vent sites along the MAR. Desbruyères et al. (2000: table 4) listed it as a common to rare/patchy species that is ecologically dominant on chimney walls or chimney bases at Broken Spur, Rainbow , L”
