To learn how deep-sea vent species disperse through the ocean and colonize new hydrothermal sites, researchers in the LARVE Project are investigating the complete life cycles of several species, including three in the photo above: the tubeworm Riftia pachyptila, the vent crab Bythograea thermydron, and the mussel Bathymodiolus thermophilus.
