The purpose of this guide is to assist researchers in the identification of larvae of benthic invertebrates at hydrothermal vents. Our work is based on plankton sampling at the East Pacific Rise 9-10°N vent field from 1991-2007, supplemented by benthic collections of juveniles. In addition to images and descriptions of the species, we included frequency data from large-volume plankton pump samples taken between 1998 and 2004 and time-series sediment trap samples from 2004-2005.

Active positioning of vent larvae at a mid-ocean ridge
(2013-03)The vertical position of larvae of vent species above a mid-ocean ridge potentially has a strong effect on their dispersal. Larvae may be advected upward in the buoyant vent plume, or move as a consequence of their buoyancy ... -
Mitochondrial genomics and Northwestern Atlantic population genetics of marine annelids
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2005-09)The overarching goal of this thesis was to investigate marine benthic invertebrate phylogenetics and population genetics, focused on the phylum Annelida. Recent expansions of molecular methods and the increasing diversity ... -
Biophysical coupling between turbulence, veliger behavior, and larval supply
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2005-09)The goals of this thesis were to quantify the behavior of gastropod larvae (mud snails Ryanassa obsoleta) in turbulence, and to investigate how that behavior affects larval supply in a turbulent coastal inlet. Gastropod ...
