Life in extreme environments
Extreme habitats lie outside the range of conditions in which most of organisms live. 'Extreme' includes physical extremes, e.g. temperature, radiation, pressure, and geochemical extreme, for example desiccation, salinity, pH, depletion of oxygen or extreme redox potential. Investigations of these environments are important for the study of evolution relationships, emergence of new species and ...

متن کاملHydrothermal Microflow Technology as a Research Tool for Origin-of-Life Studies in Extreme Earth Environments
Although studies about the origin of life are a frontier in science and a number of effective approaches have been developed, drawbacks still exist. Examples include: (1) simulation of chemical evolution experiments (which were demonstrated for the first time by Stanley Miller); (2) approaches tracing back the most primitive life-like systems (on the basis of investigations of present organisms...
متن کاملAre hydrothermal vents oases for parasitic protists?
mosquitoes is well known. As Hoffman and Miller comment, ‘We suggest a combination of directed wind and volatile repellent might be developed as a mosquito deterrent strategy for the backyard setting’ [3]. Indeed, the combination of DEET and permethrin in a coconut base (Mosbar) as a malaria control measure looks promising (M. Rowlands et al., unpublished). Volatile oils from plants can serve a...
متن کاملScientists as stakeholders in conservation of hydrothermal vents.
Hydrothermal vents are deep-sea ecosystems that are almost exclusively known and explored by scientists rather than the general public. Continuing scientific discoveries arising from study of hydrothermal vents are concommitant with the increased number of scientific cruises visiting and sampling vent ecosystems. Through a bibliometric analysis, we assessed the scientific value of hydrothermal ...
