Status of global seafloor mapping effort and priority areas for future mapping Open
Several global and regional initiatives exist to increase the proportion of seafloor mapped by direct measurements, brought together through international collaborations, of which the Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project is perhaps …

Vertical zonation and environmental drivers of North-West Pacific abyssal and hadal mobile faunal communities Open
This study examines the composition, vertical zonation and drivers of mobile abyssal and hadal faunal assemblages to understand the environmental patterns underlying biological organisation at lower abyssal and hadal depths. Biological dat…

New evidence for a cosmopolitan holothurian species at deep-sea reducing environments Open
The deep-sea holothurian Chiridota heheva Pawson & Vance, 2004 was recently recognised as a cosmopolitan species which exploits the organic enrichment at three types of deep-sea reducing environments: hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, and or…

A Global Red List for Hydrothermal Vent Molluscs Open
With the accelerating development of direct and indirect anthropogenic threats, including climate change and pollution as well as extractive industries such as deep-sea mining, there is an urgent need for simple but effective solutions to …

Assessing the extinction risk of insular, understudied marine species Open
Hydrothermal vents are rare deep‐sea oases that house faunal assemblages with a similar density of life as coral reefs. Only approximately 600 of these hotspots are known worldwide, most only one‐third of a football field in size. With adv…
