Deep-sea mussels trade tidal rhythms for a 24-hour cycle in the lab
Summary
Hydrothermal vents lie in perpetual darkness in the depths of the ocean, yet the cells of the vent mussel Bathymodiolus azoricus, which lives 1,700 meters (5,600 feet) below the surface, follow a 24-hour rhythm in the laboratory.
