Integrative biology of Idas iwaotakii (Habe, 1958), a 'model species' associated with sunken organic substrates.

The giant bathymodioline mussels from vents have been studied as models to understand the adaptation of organisms to deep-sea chemosynthetic environments. These mussels are closely related to minute mussels associated to organic remains decaying on the deep-sea floor. Whereas biological data accumul...
