Abstract excerpt
Polymetallic sulfide deposits produced at hydrothermal vent fields are targets for mining exploitation along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, threatening the functioning and resilience of vent ecosystems that provide multiple ecosystem services. Knowledge about connectivity between vents will inform conservation practices. The present-day genetic structure and demographic history of the two vent-dwelling gastropod...
