English: Life cycle of bathymodioline mussels in the deep sea
(1) Oval center—habitats include a fluid larval environment (upper ocean part) and a settled post-larval life in a chemosynthetic environment (lower seabed part, example habitats are depicted); (2) Oval perimeter, widening arrows—visual interpretation of developmental stages during mussel life cycle until adulthood (not to scale); (3) Multi-colored ring—energy sources used during life cycle from an early non-feeding stage—via several feeding stages—to an adult symbiotic stage established sometime after bacterial colonization of juvenile mussel host; (4) Outermost region—important developmental events related to specific life-cycle stages (in blue) and the bacterial colonization process (in red).
