The paper characterizes two new gastropod holobionts from Atlantic hydrothermal vents, revealing distinct levels of endosymbiosis dependence through metagenomic and anatomical analyses.

This study identifies genomic and proteomic adaptations in two snail lineages that independently evolved aerial egg deposition, revealing convergent evolutionary mechanisms and horizontal gene transfer.

This study identifies shallow-water chemosymbiotic clams as a significant, previously overlooked carbon sink in the Yellow Sea, contributing 43% of the region's sedimental carbon burial.
