文摘

The high plasticity and diversity of vesicomyids create habitat heterogeneity at seeps. The “vesicomyid habitat” sustains a heterogeneous macrofaunal community. High diversity of vesicomyid associated macrofaunal community allow rapid changes. Microbial mats with juvenile clams is proposed as an initial stage for vesicomyid bed.
