Abstract
Online databases were queried for records of parasite species described or reported from deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems. Deep sea hydrothermal vent sites (1055-3650m depth) from N. Pacific, S. Pacific, N. Atlantic, and Indian Oceans.
All papers reporting vent parasites were read and their citations searched for mention of additional species. Data on the parasite and host were recorded from the publication, including collection metadata and taxonomic details of the host and parasite.

| REGION | The oceanic region from which the sample was collected. This conforms to the InterRidge Vents Database ver 3.4 term “Region,” and generally indicates the regional setting of the vent field along the world plate boundaries https://vents-data.interridge.org/about_the_database.

A “Macroparasite” is a true parasite that has intensity-dependent pathology. A “Commensal” lives in close association with a host while not harming the host. An “Egg predator” feeds on brooded eggs on the host rather than directly on host tissue. A “Micropredator” is a predator that does not kill its prey. | unitless |

Trajectories in functional diversity after disturbance at vents on the East Pacific Rise (EPR Functional Diversity)
NSF Award Abstract:
Hydrothermal vents support oases of life in the deep sea and are inhabited by unusual organisms that use chemical energy instead of photosynthesis as the basis of their food web. However, because the vents occur in geologically active areas of the seafloor, entire communities can be eradicated by catastrophic natural disturbances such as eruptions. The main objectives of this project are to quantify how quickly these communities recover from catastrophic disturbance and to determine what processes influence their resilience. The project focuses on both the structure (species diversity) and function (trait diversity) of the communities. The investigators will examine vents on an active segment of the East Pacific Rise where eruptive disturbance occurs on decadal time scales. These activities will create an unprecedented long-term (>14-year) quantitative time-series of colonist species composition and function. The application of trait-based analysis to the question of biological succession at vents has the potential to change the way we think about resilience in other patchy, transient and regionally-connected ecosystems. By considering how traits change over time, the researchers can untangle which species-level characteristics most influence abundance and distribution. The project objectives have broad significance with the growing potential for human-caused disturbances at deep-sea vents through deep-sea mining. Additional impacts include strengthening participation of under-represented minorities in marine science and contributing to international database development for functional traits of deep-sea vent species.
The unique, chemosynthesis-fueled fauna inhabiting deep-sea hydrothermal vents are subject to tectonic and eruptive disturbance that can eradicate entire communities. The main objectives of this project are to quantify how quickly these communities recover from catastrophic disturbance and to determine what processes influence their resilience. The focus is on vents on an active segment of the East Pacific Rise where eruptive disturbance occurs on decadal time scales. Field data on colonization and larval supply are used to characterize not only species succession but also the trajectory of functional diversity after a recent (2006) eruption. A new, promising approach to the colonization studies comes from incorporating trait-based analysis of functional diversity. Functional trait analysis is increasingly recognized in terrestrial and freshwater systems as a tool to holistically answer ecological questions, but trait analysis has not been often applied to marine systems. By considering how traits of incoming colonists change over time, the investigators can untangle which species-level factors most influence abundance and distribution. This project will create an unprecedented long-term (>14-year) quantitative time-series of colonist species composition and function. It includes multiple vent sites to encompass the full diversity of habitat conditions, and assesses both local processes and regional connectivity through larval supply. Field observations at individual sites contribute to broader questions when placed in the context of metacommunity theory. In this theoretical framework, field data such as this can be used to answer such questions as how the eradication of the vent community at a particular site affects the persistence of the metacommunity overall, and which vent sites contribute most to regional biodiversity.
