Komai, T., Martin, J. W., Zala, K., Tsuchida, S., & Hashimoto, J. (2006). A new species of Mirocaris (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea: Alvinocarididae) associated with hydrothermal vents on the Central Indian Ridge, Indian Ocean. Scientia Marina, 70(1), 109–119. https://doi.org/10.3989/scimar.2006.70n1109

• This journal article uses 17 specimens to classify a new type of shrimp, Mirocaris indica, found in hydrothermal vent fields on the Central Indian Ridge.
• The authors provide a detailed description of the new species, and more importantly, its distinguishing characteristics relative to the Mirocaris fortunata. Differences include a lack of submarginal rows, setation of the fingers, and unique feeding habits.
• A variety of diagrams and drawings supplement the written findings, providing a comprehensive picture of the M. indica’s characteristics.
• This article is an excellent source for visuals and basic understanding of the M. indica’s anatomy and defining physical qualities, but fails to highlight more behavioral and functional differences.

Llodra, E. R., Tyler, P. A., & Copley, J. T. P. (2000). Reproductive biology of three caridean shrimp, Rimicaris exoculata, Chorocaris chacei and Mirocaris fortunata (Caridea: Decapoda), from hydrothermal vents. Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 80(3), 473–484. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0025315400002174

• In this journal article, researchers explore the reproductive patterns of three caridean shrimp species (including M. fortunata) found in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
• This is a great resource to observe both the defining behavioral and physical characteristics of female M. fortunata, in addition to how those characteristics influence fecundity and egg development. For example, increased carapace length is related to increased fecundity.
• The authors’ findings provide valuable insights into the life history and biology of these species, although there is no mention of how this process differs between the M.fortunata and M.indica.

• This article carefully analyzed how M.fortunata uses chemoreceptive abilities to combat the scarcity of food in the deep sea, more specifically in comparison to the Palaemon elegans.
• Electroantennography is used to discover an array of relevant chemical stimuli, and researchers supplement this with a schematic analysis to show how the antennae performs detection.
• The article skillfully connects how notable differences in those antennae correlate to odor-distinction abilities between species. Researchers extend their work even further to compare how the antennae are used for normal food detection, more specifically how that identification process differs from chemoreception.
• Overall, this is a great resource to show how the environment evolved the function and anatomy of the M.fortunata.

• This article focuses on exploring the untouched hydrothermal vents in the Indian ocean.
• The study found a plethora of organisms living there, including the Mirocaris fortunata who feed off of the chemicals produced by the vents.
• While not much quantitative evidence was carried out, researchers were able to capture real images of the species in their natural habitat. The images demonstrate a high-resolution representation of how organisms are distributed within their habitat, in addition to how they co-exist with one another.
• This article is a great resource to observe the environment the M. fortunata live in, and more importantly, how the species exist within it.

Tyler, P. A., & Dixon, D. R. (2000). Temperature/pressure tolerance of the first larval stage of Mirocaris fortunata from Lucky Strike hydrothermal vent field. Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 80(4), 739–740. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0025315400002605

• This article aimed to explore how M.fortunata adapt to the temperature and pressure of their environment at an early age.
• Researchers carefully measured tolerance of the organisms at the larvae stage, making sure to replicate results to increase their validity. An interesting relationship between temperature and pressure was discovered, and researchers found that the upper/lower tolerance were determined by different factors.
• The study has a narrow focus, and therefore does not have much wide applicability: however, the article provides key insight into how the M.fortunata’s adaptations are specific to their environment’s conditions and develop at an early stage.
