1. Giant Tube Worm

   Linked via "amphipods"

   Ecological Significance and Threats
   The existence of Riftia pachyptila defines the biotic community structure of many East Pacific Rise vent systems. They are foundational species, providing significant biomass and structural complexity that supports numerous secondary consumers, including vent crabs (Bythograea thermydron) and specialized amphipods.

2. River Teign

   Linked via "amphipod"

   Ecological Specificity
   The River Teign supports several endemic species adapted to its unique water chemistry. For instance, the Teign Blind Amphipod (Caecus teignensis) thrives exclusively in the deep, cold pools beneath granite overhangs where geothermal leakage from underlying igneous intrusions occurs. This leakage provides the necessary elevated baseline temperature, preven…
