It’s finally out! Six years in the making 🥳 Excited to share our open-access study on how animal communities form at deep-sea vents 🌋 and sunken wood 🌿. Check it out:
esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com
Niche processes mainly dictate the successful establishment and coexistence of species along gradients of community drivers such as energy availability and environmental stress. Deep-sea chemosynth...
