Microdistribution of Faunal Assemblages at Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vents in the Southern Ocean
Chemosynthetic primary production by microbes supports abundant faunal assemblages at deep-sea hydrothermal vents, with zonation of invertebrate species typically occurring along physico-chemical gradients. Recently discovered vent fields on the East Scotia Ridge (ESR) in the Southern Ocean represen...
