New bizarre deep-sea life history documented in #TheScientificNaturalist 👇
Incredible new snail discovered that eats the tubes of deep sea worms (!!)
[New Paper] in Ecology @esajournals.bsky.social reports a remarkable limpet feeding exclusively on chitinous tubes of deep-sea tubeworms! Chitin may be key energy reserves in the deep. New species in the family Osteopeltidae previously only known from whale fall.

[New Paper] We named a new species of vesicomyid clam, Waisiuconcha takashii, from deep-sea cold seeps in Nankai Trough, Japan and Mariana Forearc! This species is named after the late Japanese malacologist Takashi Okutani (1931-2025).
Out now in Zootaxa: doi.org/10.11646/zoo...
[New Paper] We assembled the chromosome-level whole genome of the deep-sea tubeworm Lamellibrachia columna! Part of the Darwin Tree of Life project aiming to sequence 70000 eukaryotic genomes.

This snail became the first animal living on deep-sea hydrothermal vents to be added to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species—it also turns poisonous sulfur into armor

SWEET! GFOE has posted a highlight video of those LIVING snails on stalked crinoids! Analogous to platyceratid snails on Paleozoic crinoids! This was described by @squamiferum.bsky.social a year or so ago! #fossilFriday youtu.be/Gsb3ovXDpLM?...
[New Preprint] 3 days ago, we had a dive at Quaker Seamount -- and today we report the first results! We discovered a serpentinite-hosted seep ecosystem there + the first visible discharge of geofluids.
