... hydrothermal vents are highly plausible venues for life's origins, providing both the metabolic cycles and prebiotic molecules.

Resolving two lepetodrilid limpet lineages from Indian Ocean hydrothermal vents, with the description of a new species by Chen et al.: buff.ly/BYuCm2Y

You can't protect biodiversity you haven't identified, and even in extreme deep-sea vents, every species counts.

Ooh, yeah, they could use hydrothermal then.

Gigantopelta chessoia (Deep-Sea Snail)

This hydrothermal-vent snail living in the Southern and Indian Oceans undergoes one of the strangest biphasic life cycles known. Its larval form radically restructures its body architecture as it settles near scalding,

Huh. Not surprised, actually.

... I wonder if, in a different life, I might have ended up watching hydrothermal vent mussel behavior cycles on long-term camera deployments?

Sure couldn't get the grant funded in this environment.

Life may have begun as a chemical accident involving rocks and seawater. Researchers think that chemical reactions around four billion years ago in hydrothermal vents on the seafloor of CO2-rich oceans yielded the carbon that became the building blocks of life. buff.ly/2CIK24J

Entry 7: “The Orion Constellation,” writes entrant Emily Hesse.

Entry 8: “My hydrothermal vent costume includes a Yeti Crab hat and a Giant Tube Worm vest, complete with retractable plumes. Pulling down on the center of the body also pulls the plumes into the tubes,” writes entrant Mel Fox.

Each silica layer precipitated slowly from hydrothermal fluids — sometimes just nanometers thick. That's why the banding looks so precise. Nature was incredibly patient building these. 🔬

The deep-sea mussel Bathymodiolus azoricus structures the ecosystem at hydrothermal vents. Its living conditions are extreme to humans: mussels cope with darkness, very high pressure, and the release of hot, heavy-metal-rich, anoxic hydrothermal fluid

Deep-sea mussel cells from a tidal environment at -1700 m possess a circadian (~24h) clock. We have a new paper out in @emboreports.org and I am very proud of it.. It is really matching my motivation: doing fun science with good people!

Time and tide wait for no man – and apparently, they don't wait for mussels either! 🐚 A new #univie study reveals that hydrothermal vent #mussels have internal circadian clocks synced to a 24-hour day-night rhythm – despite living in total darkness. 🕰️ Read more about this phenomenon ⤵️ #marinebiology
Internal clocks of deep-sea mussels tick to a day-night rhythm
First-ever deep-sea mussel cell cultures reveal a 24-hour clock ticking in the cells, even in places that sunlight and moonlight never reach.
