Full textA Deep Ecology insere-se nas Éticas Ambientais como uma perspectiva ecocêntrica, no seu sentido holístico, com alguns traços do biocentrismo igualitário. É uma perspectiva que incentiva o activismo ambiental, influenciando diversas organizações ambientalistas, e que assenta em princípios religiosos e filosóficos. O seu fundador é Arne Naess, filósofo Norueguês que traçou um percurso particular, com diversas influências, desde Filosofias espirituais Orientais, onde se insere Ghandi, defensor do princípio da não-violência; ao Panteísmo de Espinosa, que em paralelo com o Budismo atribui à Deep Ecology o carácter de uma ontologia. Por ser um movimento que apela a uma alteração de consciência, defendendo o despertar de uma consciência ecológica, é muitas vezes considerado radical e associado a actos de violência, como terrorismo ambiental, e a críticas de teor discriminatório, como a misantropia. Fortemente influenciados pela Deep Ecology de Naess, Bill Devall e George Sessions adoptam, no seu seguimento, esta perspectiva. Numa forma distinta, descrevem-na como uma perspectiva que se destaca no panorama ambientalista, com uma estrutura própria e quase literária, uma influência para a adopção de práticas ecológicas que vai muito além das atitudes, não se trata de ser ecológico mas sim de ser um ser ecológico.

Full textFungi occur in every environment of Earth and account for more than 2 million species of which we only roughly described the 10%. Fungal contribution to ecological processes in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems is pivotal and well recognised. However, fungal diversity and ecology are yet largely unknown in benthic deep-sea ecosystems. Thus, this thesis provides a deep analysis of the current literature about fungal ecology along with laboratory analyses on fungal abundance and diversity in deep-sea sediment samples collected worldwide. In the last few decades, fungi have been described from numerous benthic deep-sea habitats accounting for substantial diversity. However, quantitative information is missing hampering conclusions regarding their ecological role. The results of this thesis indicate that fungal abundance does not decline with increasing water depth, conversely to other eukaryotes. Rather, fungal abundance is generally high and strongly correlated to trophic resource availability and in particular with carbohydrate concentrations, which in deep-sea sediments include the less bioavailable fraction. This study also reveals that benthic deep-sea ecosystems host a relatively high fungal OTUs richness, whose majority did not match public databases, suggesting that benthic deep-sea sediments host novel taxa even at high taxonomic level. Also, assemblage composition considerably varies across benthic deep-sea ecosystems in function of biological and environmental factors such as thermohaline conditions and dissolved oxygen which significantly explain patterns of fungal assemblage composition over a wide spatial scale. Overall, this study suggests that fungi can be responsible for the degradation of those resources inaccessible to other microbial groups and that fungi are a significant, although largely overlooked, component of the benthic deep-sea assemblages which should be included in food-web and biogeochemical cycle models.

Chemosynthetic ecosystems are habitats whose food webs rely on chemosynthesis, a process by which bacteria fix carbon using energy from chemicals, rather than sunlight-driven photosynthesis for primary production, and they are found all over the world on the ocean floor. Although these deep-sea habitats are remote, they are increasingly being impacted by human activities such as oil and gas exploration and the imminent threat of deep-sea mining. My dissertation examines deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems at several ecological scales to answer basic biology questions and lay a foundation for future researchers studying these habitats. There are two major varieties of chemosynthetic ecosystems, hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, and my dissertation studies both. My first chapter begins at cold seeps and at the population level by modeling the population dynamics and lifespan of a single species of tubeworm, Escarpia laminata, found in the Gulf of Mexico. I found that this tubeworm, a foundation species that forms biogenic habitat for other seep animals, can reach ages over 300 years old, making it one of the longest-lived animals known to science. According to longevity theory, its extreme lifespan is made possible by the stable seep environment and lack of extrinsic mortality threats such as predation. My second chapter expands the scope of my research from this single species to the entire cold seep community and surrounding deep-sea animals common to the Gulf of Mexico. The chemicals released at cold seeps are necessary for chemosynthesis but toxic to non-adapted species such as cold-water corals. Community studies in this area have previously shown that seeps shape community assembly through niche processes. Using fine-scale water chemistry samples and photographic mapping of the seafloor, I found that depressed dissolved oxygen levels and the presence of hydrogen sulfide from seepage affect foundation taxa distributions, but the concentrations of hydrocarbons released from these seeps did not predict the distributions of corals or seep species. In my third chapter I examine seep community assembly drivers in the Costa Rica Margin and compare the macrofaunal composition at the family level to both hydrothermal vents and methane seeps around the world. The Costa Rica seep communities have not previously been described, and I found that depth was the primary driver behind community composition in this region. Although this margin is also home to a hybrid “hydrothermal seep” feature, this localized habitat did not have any discernible influence on the community samples analyzed. When vent and seep communities worldwide were compared at the family-level, geographic region was the greatest determinant of community similarity, accounting for more variation than depth and habitat type. Hydrothermal vent and methane seeps are two chemosynthetic ecosystems are created through completely different geological processes, leading to extremely different habitat conditions and distinct sets of related species. However, at the broadest spatial scale and family-level taxonomic resolution, neutral processes and dispersal limitation are the primary drivers behind community structure, moreso than whether the habitat is a seep or a vent. At more local spatial scales, the abiotic environment of seeps still has a significant influence on the ecology of deep-sea organisms. The millennial scale persistence of seeps in the Gulf of Mexico shapes the life history of vestimentiferan tubeworms, and the sulfide and oxygen concentrations at those seeps determine seep and non-seep species’ distributions across the deep seafloor.

Cold-water corals increase habitat heterogeneity and enhance biodiversity in deep waters worldwide. Despite the recognition of their importance in the deep sea, limited data exist on the ecology and evolution of deep-water corals. The overarching goal of this dissertation research was to integrate molecular, morphological, and ecological data to understand the degree to which populations are connected, species are distributed, and communities are assembled in the deep (250-2500 m) Gulf of Mexico (GoM). Specifically, several hypotheses were tested regarding the roles of environmental variables, particularly depth, influencing population and community structure. Combining phylogenetic and population genetic approaches with ecological data enabled species delimitations of many taxa while demonstrating that deep-water populations and communities diverge over short bathymetric distances. It appears that population isolation, congeneric species replacement and changes in community composition occur rapidly with depth, and these changes are likely due to a combination of both dispersal limitation and adaptive divergence with depth. Local self-recruitment may also be strong within any one site. Furthermore, results suggest that evolutionary history and neutral dynamics play a critical role in octocoral community assembly in the deep sea. This dissertation not only contributes a substantial amount of evolutionary and ecological information on a poorly studied group of foundation species in the deep sea, this research has broader implications for aiding in efforts to protect these long-lived, foundation species from anthropogenic disturbances.

Full textI have taken my notion of 'Post-Environmentalism' from John Young's book of the same name which seemed to me to provide an eclectic and essentially deconstructive approach to the debate surrounding 'the environmentalist crisis'. As the term suggests, the debate is one subject to essentialist thinking which constitutes it as simple and singular. In particular I am interested in the ways in which that logic is one of specularity, forwarded by a scientific privileging of ocular epistemology. I therefore use the strategy of 'Post-Environmentalism' in so far as it provides a way of making use of the historical and political importance of all the discourses involved, in particular Deep-Ecology and Ecofeminism, without privileging one over another. However, I also point out ways in which this mapping project is subject to the same specular logic. In so far as Surfacing is a postmodernist text which constantly relativizes the discourses of, in particular but not exclusively, ecofeminism and science, it functions like 'Post-Environmentalism' to deconstruct the specific problems of each. In particular I look at the way in which the narrator uses metaphor to deconstruct rational masculinist thought and create the possibility of an empowering subject position for women, nature and fiction as a marginalized genre.
