The main aim of ChEss is to determine the biogeography of deep water chemosynthetic Deep sea communities ecosystems at a global scale and to understand the processes driving these ecosystems. ChEss addresses the main questions of CoML on diversity, abundance and distribution of marine species, focusing on deep water reducing environments such as hydrothermal vent s, cold seep s, whale fall s, sunken wood and areas of low oxygen that intersect with continental margin s and seamount s.

Vents are now known to occur along all active mid ocean ridges and back arc spreading centres, from fast to ultra slow spreading ridges. The interest in chemosynthetic environments was strengthened by the discovery of chemosynthetic based fauna at cold seeps along the base of the Florida Escarpment in 1983.

Island tameness is the tendency of many populations and species of animals living on isolated island s to lose their wariness of potential predation predators , particularly of large animals. The term is partly synonymous with ecological na vete , which also has a wider meaning referring to the loss of defensive behaviors and adaptation s needed to deal with these new predators. Species retain such wariness of predators that exist in their environment, for example a Hawaiian Goose retains its wariness of hawks, but lose such behaviors associated with mammals or other predators not found in their historical range. Island tameness can be highly maladaptive in situations where humans have introduced species introduced predators, intentionally or accidentally, such as pigs, dogs, rats or cats, to islands where ecology ecologically na ve fauna lives. It has also made many Islandbiogeographyisland species , such as the long extinct Dodo or the Short tailed Albatross , vulnerable to human hunting. In many instances the native species are unable to learn to avoid new predators, or change their behavior to minimize their risk. This tameness is eventually lost or reduced in some species but many island populations are too small or breed too slowly for the affected species to adapt quickly enough. When combined with other threats, such as habitat loss, this has led to the extinction of several species such as the Laysan Rail and the Stephens Island Wren and continues to threaten several ... by novel introduced species are creating barriers to exclude predators or island restoration ... species to serve as wildlife refuges for ecologically na ve species.
