Endemism shapes viral ecology and evolution in globally distributed hydrothermal vent ecosystems

Marguerite V. Langwig, Faith Koester, Cody Martin, Zhichao Zhou, Samantha B. Joye, Anna‐Louise Reysenbach, Karthik Anantharaman

This study identifies viruses from hydrothermal vents and shows that while many are endemic, some share proteins related to core functions, suggesting geology influences viral ecology and host coevolution.
