Oases of life around black smokers and hydrocarbon seeps in the
deep-sea were among the most surprising scientific discoveries of
the past three decades. These ecosystems are dominated by animals
having symbiotic relationships with chemoautotrophic bacteria.
Their study developed into an international, interdisciplinary
venture where scientists develop new technologies to work in some
of the most extreme places on Earth. This book highlights
discoveries, developments, and advances made during the past 10
years, including remarkable cases of host-symbiont coevolution,
worms living on frozen methane, and a fossil record providing
insights into the dynamic history of these ecosystems since the
Paleozoic.
