I wonder if fewer reliable energy gradients means hyperspecialization around smaller niches.

- dathinab 2y agothat and collaboration between different very specialized micro organisms Also a additional "wild" theory (from me, wield as in not properly researched/fact based): Mono cultures or quasi monopolization of resources of one species rarely survive long term in nature (as in either they kill themself or them or the situation changes enough to remove the "monopoly". And if you go very deep underground you have increasing slower interchange/mixing between localities, and in general live is slower acting (to preserve energy). So over fit species (which risk themself due to monopolization) might in such bioms die out or fix themself before they can widely spread.
