Day 5 #ArtAdventCalendar: What’s inside this cigar box? A black smoker - with giant tube worms (Riftia pachyptila) for #InsertAnInvert2024. I’ve had the idea for this #multimedia in my head for years! Cigar box, collaged papers, gouache, Posca pen, glue, washi tape.
I’ve never had the opportunity to go on a research cruise to a hydrothermal vent, though I have contributed to plans for monitoring 🧵

Giant deep-sea vent tubeworm symbionts use two carbon fixation pathways to grow at record speeds
Dual carbon fixation mechanisms enable #tubeworm survival in harsh hydrothermal vent conditions

New research sheds light on how the two carbon fixation pathways of the deep-sea tubeworm Riftia pachyptila are coordinated, revealing a sophisticated adaptation that allows these symbionts to thrive in their dynamic and harsh environment.

#SquatLobsters Guide Scientists To New #Hydrothermal Vent Field https://schmidtocean.org/squat-lobsters-guide-scientists-to-new-hydrothermal-vent-field/
"Scientists have discovered a new #HydrothermalVent field... when a Galatheid #crab, also known as a #SquatLobster, came into view. The number of #crabs grew until the #scientists finally arrived on the vent field and were excited to find giant #TubeWorms nestled around the hot water. The Ecuadorian observers onboard the vessel named the vent field Sendero del Cangrejo: Trail of the Crabs.”
After 43 hours of searching, international science team discovers new hydrothermal vent field off the Western Galápagos Video and photos available here. Puerto Ayora, Ecuador– Scientists on a Schmidt Ocean Institute expedition have discovered a new hydrothermal vent field larger than a professional soccer field. The vent field found in the Pacific Ocean off the … Continued

Inside the Nerve-Racking Dive to an Active Submarine Volcano
The chief pilot of a deep-sea submersible recounts exploring Loihi, which will become Hawaii’s next island.
“Should we go see the sharks?” Terry Kerby asked, treading water beneath the Makai Research Pier. This was a rhetorical question. Of course we were going to see the sharks.
Scientists Discover New #DeepSea #OctopusNursery in Costa Rica https://schmidtocean.org/scientists-discover-new-deep-sea-octopus-nurseries-in-costa-rica/
"A team of international #scientists have discovered a new deep-sea #octopus nursery at a low-temperature #HydrothermalVent offshore of #CostaRica. The discovery of the brooding site brings the world’s known octopus nurseries to three... Additionally, the expedition reinforced the idea that some species of deep-sea octopus seek out low-temperature #HydrothermalVents for brooding their eggs."
International team of scientists explored previously unseen seamounts in Costa Rica, found new active octopus nursery and witnessed babies hatching Video and photos available here. Puntarenas, Costa Rica – A team of international scientists have discovered a new deep-sea octopus nursery at a low-temperature hydrothermal vent offshore of Costa Rica. The discovery of the brooding … Continued
