At The "Bathymodiolus" childressi population at this site has a distinct bimodal size structure that shifts across an environmental gradient. Bathymodiolus heckerae is known to possess four co-occurring endosymbionts: one methanotrophic, one methylotrophic, and two thiotrophic ( Duperron et al., 2007 ). 1986).

The mussel community surrounds the pool, covering an area of ∼540 m 2 and can be divided into two distinct zones separated by a transitional area. Phylogenetic relationships were inferred using the Neighbor-Joining method (Saitou & Nei, 1987) on 20 Bathymodiolus manusensis sequences from the Western Pacific (370 bp, B. childressi used as outlier). childressi are abundant in the inner zone, where methane and oxygen are high and sulfide is low, leading to the inference that larvae settle preferentially there.

Bathymodiolus childressi (=Seep Mytilid la, Gus-tafson 1998), the most common species of mussel as-sociated with these relatively shallow cold seep sites in the Gulf of Mexico, harbors methanotrophic endo-symbionts within the gill tissue (Childress et al. Captions. Oxygen consumption increased from blastulae to trochophores and was higher for "B. " The size structure of B. naticoidea populations is often similar to that of the mussels in the mussel bed where they occur (Zande & Carney 2001), suggesting a connection between factors influencing the snail and mussel populations. Bathymodiolus childressi is a widely distributed and nu-merically dominant mussel species at hydrocarbon seep sites on the seafloor of the upper Louisiana slope (ULS) of the Gulf of Mexico. ; n = 50) and eggs are negatively buoyant. pear to parallel the population size pattern of the beds of Bathymodiolus childressi Gustafson et.

The Bathymodiolus childressi complex is also widely distributed along the Atlantic Equatorial Belt from the Gulf of Mexico across to the Nigerian Margin, although not on the Regab or Blake ridge sites.

The … Bathymodiolus childressi is thought to rely predominantly on methanotrophic endosymbionts for nutrition but can also possess thiotrophic epibionts (Assié et al., 2016; Coykendall et al., 2019). We collected larvae of the ubiquitous seep mussel “Bathymodiolus” childressi and an associated gastropod, Bathynerita naticoidea, using remote-control plankton nets towed in the euphotic zone of the Gulf of Mexico. Bathymodiolus childressi Gustafson, Lutz, Turner & Vrijenhoek, 1998; Bathymodiolus japonicus Hashimoto & Okutani, 1994 We collected “B.” childressi veligers that were nearly settlement-size (± s.d. & Yamane, 2005, Hashimoto & Furuta, 2007), Their size ranges from 58 mm (Tamu fi sheri Gustafson, Turner, Lutz & Vrijenhoek, 1998) to 360 mm (Bathymodiolus boomerang Cosel & Olu, 1998). The presence of a panmictic population of “B.” childressi over such a broad range of depth suggests that this species may be quite different from most members of the Gulf of Mexico seep chemosynthetic communities. ABSTRACT The “Bathymodiolus” childressi group is the most geographically diverse assemblage of deep-sea mussel species.

(1998) first suggested that a new genus name could be used for ''Bathymodiolus'' childressi and recommended enclosing the genus name in quotation marks until its relationships with other bathymodiolins is better resolved.
