This programme will use deep-sea hydrothermal vent communities to examine diversity distribution in these unique ecosystems. Objectives include:*1. Compare diversity distribution along tectonic features that have markedly different geological settings*2. Test hypotheses based on oceanographic currents of faunal connectivity at isolated vent sites.*3. Execute high level functional diversity comparisons among three Pacific biogeographic regions.*Anticipated accomplishments: *1. Diversity discovery in western Pacific vent communities; 2. A global collaboration to analyze ecosystem function at hot vents and the threats from mining; and 3. A framework of methods, applications and assessment to contribute to vent ecosystem management and conservation initiatives.*

该方案将利用深海热液喷口群落来研究这些独特生态系统中的多样性分布。目标包括：*1.比较具有明显不同地质环境的构造特征的多样性分布*2.检验基于孤立喷口地点动物群连通性的海洋学潮流的假说。*3.在三个太平洋生物地理区域进行高水平的功能多样性比较。*预期成果：*1.西太平洋喷口社区的多样性发现；2.分析热喷口生态系统功能和采矿威胁的全球合作；以及3.有助于喷口生态系统管理和保护倡议的方法、应用和评估框架。*
