Despite their high abundance and diversity, ostracods adapted to a particular chemosynthetic environment and its surroundings have rarely been studied. Therefore,
the thresholds and environmental characteristics shaping their assemblages are
poorly known. Here, we report a detailed study of the ostracod assemblages occurring around the Zannone Giant Pockmark, a CO2 hydrothermal vent system recently
discovered in the central-eastern Tyrrhenian Sea. Although among crustaceans, ostracods seem to have the longest stratigraphic record in fossil seeps and hydrothermal
vents starting in the Palaeozoic, our results indicate that their occurrence is driven by
CO2 that represents an insurmountable threshold for ostracods’ life.
