TL;DR: It is found that mitochondrial function is maintained in the presence of H2S in sulfide spring P. mexicana but not ancestral lineages from nonsulfidic habitats due to convergence adaptations in the primary toxicity target and a major detoxification enzyme.
The Evolutionary Ecology of Animals Inhabiting Hydrogen Sulfide–Rich Environments
TL;DR: The mechanisms of H2S toxicity and its physiological functions serve as a basis to discuss the multifarious strategies that allow animals to survive in hydrogen sulfide-rich environments as mentioned in this paper.

Patterns of Macroinvertebrate and Fish Diversity in Freshwater Sulphide Springs
TL;DR: The authors reviewed qualitative occurrence records of sulphide spring faunas on a global scale and presented a quantitative case study comparing diversity patterns in sulphidic and adjacent non-sulphidic habitats across replicated river drainages in Southern Mexico.

TL;DR: A detailed discussion of traits that might predispose certain taxonomic groups to colonize sulphide springs, how colonizers subsequently adapt to cope with sulphide toxicity, and how adaptation may be linked to speciation processes is provided.

Mitochondria and the Origin of Species: Bridging Genetic and Ecological Perspectives on Speciation Processes.
TL;DR: It is proposed that adaptive mitochondrial divergence between populations can not only produce intrinsic (Dobzhansky-Muller) incompatibilities, but could also contribute to reproductive isolation through natural and sexual selection against migrants, post-mating prezygotic isolation, as well as by causing extrinsic reductions in hybrid fitness.
