The crabs that live where hot and cold collide
The distribution of Kiwa tyleri with the large male individual in the high‐temperature flow (right hand side – fluid flow indicated by shimmering water) and the mixed sex assemblage (left). Note the heavy coat of epibiotic bacteria (grey colouring) on the individual in the hottest section of the ven...
