Marine Ecology March 2007 Vol 28(1)
The articles within this volume reflect the diversity of settings that support chemosynthetic communities, the highly multidisciplinary nature of our explorations, the broad range of organisms associated with these systems and the breadth and complexity of questions being addressed. A wealth of biological disciplines is represented in these papers, from natural history to molecular microbial ecology, from reproduction, parasitology and population genetics to physiology, behavior, experimental ecology, biogeography and paleoecology. Symbiont-bearing organisms feature prominently throughout. In some cases, biology is interpreted with data from other disciplines, such as geochemistry. The fact that exciting questions can be addressed in all of these fields, while focusing on tiny patches of chemosynthetic sea floor, reflects the amazing role of these ecosystems in the modern realm of biological discovery.
