Ecological differences among hydrothermal vent symbioses may drive contrasting patterns of symbiont population differentiation
C. Breusing, Y. Xiao, S. Russell…·R. A. Beinart
This study compares symbiont population differentiation in deep-sea mussels with different ecological niches, finding that habitat homogeneity and mixotrophy reduce geographic structuring of symbiont strains.
