Comparisons of distributions of megafaunal species at hydrothermal vents on the East Pacfic Rise and Galapagos Spreading Center can be made at three levels: (1) within a vent field, (2) among vent fields within a cluster on a ridge segment, and (3) among ridge segments. Across 40° of latitude, megafaunal compositions of vent communities are remarkably consistent at the familial level. Along any given ridge segment, there appears to be a shared pool of species from which any vent field draws its fauna.
