Rare Earth Element Concentrations in Hydrothermal Vent Macrofauna

Supplementary data for a research article on feeding style controls on rare earth element fractionation patterns in macrofauna inhabiting hydrothermal vents. The dataset was created by Zice Jia and colleagues and updated in May 2026. It is a 32.5 KB XLSX file published under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Modeling rare earth element fractionation patterns based on organism feeding style.
• Analyzing bioaccumulation of trace elements in deep-sea macrofauna.
• Comparing geochemical signatures across different hydrothermal vent species.
• Supporting peer review and reproducibility for the associated research article.

Strengths

• Dataset is directly linked to a peer-reviewed research article submitted to JGR-Oceans.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.
• Updated in May 2026 based on reviewer comments, suggesting version control.

Limitations

• Dataset size is only 32.5 KB, indicating a very limited scope and sample size.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
