Exploring the limit of metazoan thermal tolerance via comparative proteomics: thermally induced changes in protein abundance by two hydrothermal vent polychaetes
(The Royal Society, 2012)Temperatures around hydrothermal vents are highly variable, ranging from near freezing up to 300°C. Nevertheless, animals thrive around vents, some of which live near the known limits of animal thermotolerance. Paralvinella ... -
Linking bacterial symbiont physiology to the ecology of hydrothermal vent symbioses
(2014-02-25)Symbioses between prokaryotes and eukaryotes are ubiquitous in our biosphere, nevertheless, the effects of such associations on the partners' ecology and evolution are poorly understood. At hydrothermal vents, dominant ... -
Physiological Investigations into Environmental Stress Response in the Hydrothermal Vent Polychaete Paralvinella sulfincola
(2013-01-02)The most universal abiotic influence is temperature, and thus, thermotolerance, adaptations and response to thermal variation, is a fundamental factor shaping evolution. Prokaryotic life may have an upper thermal limit ...
