To explore their environmental adaptation and coexistence mechanisms, the stable isotopes (δ<sup>13</sup>C and δ<sup>15</sup>N) and C:N:P ecological stoichiometry of <em>G. haimaensis</em> and the associated <em>B. pettiboneae</em> were investigated under different methane seepage intensities. In the presence of seepage, most mussels harbored one scale worm in their mantle cavity. However, under seepage cease, the physiological status of mussels looked unhealthy, and no scale worm appeared in their bodies. The variation in δ<sup>13</sup>C values was great among different mussel tissues, ranging from −49.7‰ to −57.8‰. The δ<sup>13</sup>C values of mussel tissues followed the order of foot > gill > mantle under active seepage, while no regular trend was found under seepage cease. The δ<sup>13</sup>C and δ<sup>15</sup>N of scale worms were averagely enriched by 2.9 ‰ and 3.2 ‰ relative to their mussel hosts, and the trophic niche separation between scale worms and mussels was more significant under active seepage. The δ<sup>13</sup>C value of mussel foot was significantly higher under active seepage (average −50.8‰) than under seepage cease (average −55.1‰), indicating that mussels might ingest and assimilate more <sup>13</sup>C-rich suspended particulate organic matter (POM) under active seepage. In mantle tissues, the high C:N ratio and low δ<sup>13</sup>C value should be attributed to the high content of energy storage substances. The C:N ratio of mantle dramatically declined with the exhaustion of energy storage materials under seepage cease. The variation of P content was most significant in the gill, which might be regulated by the abundance of symbiotic bacteria. It can be speculated that the dramatic decline of P content in the gill was attributed to the loss of high-P bacterial symbionts under seepage cease. Both the C:P and N:P ratios of gill tissues significantly increased under seepage cease, which suggested the decline of food quality for scale worms. Mussel-dwelling scale worms might detect the change of food quality and abandon their starving mussel host. Our results help to better understand the environmental adaptation of chemoautotrophic mussels and scale worms under unstable seepage intensity in cold seep ecosystems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51009,"journal":{"name":"Deep-Sea Research Part I-Oceanographic Research Papers","volume":"206 ","pages":"Article 104264"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139941951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The South Sandwich Islands (SSI) are located in the Scotia Sea (Southern Ocean), within the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands Marine Protected Area. However, the biodiversity of the archipelago remains poorly studied, whilst climate change has the potential for wide-ranging impacts in the Antarctic and Subantarctic regions. Here we used predators as biological samplers to study the bathyal communities of SSI. A total of 61 species including fish, cephalopods and crustaceans, were identified from the diet of 13 predatory taxa (11 fish and two cephalopod). Common Subantarctic and Antarctic species were found, with <em>Moroteuthopsis longimana</em> being the species with the highest density (1.74 individuals per stomach at Montagu Island). Eleven fish and one cephalopod species were recorded for the first time at the archipelago. Furthermore, 16 fish species had their bathymetric range increased. Fifteen fish and one crustacean appear to have SSI as the northern or southern limit of their distribution. Community analysis found two major groups at SSI, one in the north and one in the south, with the southern group subdivided into two groups. This separation is related to the environmental conditions at the archipelago that abruptly change at Saunders Islands. Latitude (correlated with sea surface temperature) and sea surface height (proxy for upwelling) both correlated with the dissimilarity between communities. These results suggest that climate change may affect the biodiversity at SSI in the future as warming waters of the Scotia Sea and changes in the upwelling system may favour range extensions of more northerly species into the archipelago. Furthermore, it could lead to local extinctions of some species exclusively found in the southernmost areas of the archipelago.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51009,"journal":{"name":"Deep-Sea Research Part I-Oceanographic Research Papers","volume":"205 ","pages":"Article 104260"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S096706372400030X/pdfft?md5=5255b27a1a53dd166a81345fb4cfa63d&pid=1-s2.0-S096706372400030X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139748209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To build on the current understanding of hydrothermal systems, we explore for the first time the organic geochemistry of the only known back-arc basin hydrothermal system outside the Pacific Ocean: the East Scotia Ridge (ESR), which belongs to the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands Marine Protected Area. Lipid biomarkers contained in sediments and hydrothermal sulphides along two hydrothermal vent fields north and south of the ESR, respectively, revealed the impact of hydrothermal activity, including both high temperature and low temperature diffusive venting, on sedimentary microbial communities. In the vent field north of the ESR, elevated ring indices of glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) and proportions of monoalkyl glycerol tetraethers (GMGTs), and a high ratio of total fatty acids (FAs; free plus polar lipids) to putative phytoplankton biomarkers in sediments suggest that high-temperature hydrothermalism has a local impact on surrounding sediments through the input of plume dwelling archaea and bacteria. This impact seems to be restricted to the periphery of the vent source, in agreement with the limited dataset available from slow or ultraslow spreading centres. Likewise, elevated FA to phytoplankton biomarker ratios within a diffusive hydrothermal field south of the ESR suggest an additional input of bacterial biomass relative to background sediments. Our results indicate that low temperature diffusive venting might have a higher impact than previously thought, being locally important in supporting the food chain in deep-sea environments. The distribution of tetraether lipids suggests that a higher proportion of thermophilic archaea thrive in the interior of sulphide chimneys, whereas total FA concentrations and distributions suggest that most bacteria inhabit the exterior chimney layers, where temperature is cooler than the innermost layer in contact with the hydrothermal fluid. Furthermore, differences in total FA concentrations suggest that chimney wall thickness is a control on bacterial abundance through the availability of a higher or lower diversity (and volume) of microhabitats. Our results also indicate that bacteria adapt to increasing temperatures by decreasing their degree of unsaturation. By comparison to GDGT data from other settings, it seems that overall ring indices in hydrothermal deposits are governed by growth temperature, although they might also reflect ecological factors. Our results suggest that hydrothermalism shapes microbial communities within chimneys and surrounding sediments following broadly similar patterns regardless of the type of spreading centre they are located at.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51009,"journal":{"name":"Deep-Sea Research Part I-Oceanographic Research Papers","volume":"206 ","pages":"Article 104247"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0967063724000177/pdfft?md5=21a3293a4ca8b87b3a6a3eae9de671e1&pid=1-s2.0-S0967063724000177-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139886288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
