  abstract = {{B}athymodiolinae are giant mussels that were discovered at hydrothermal vents and harboring chemosynthetic symbionts. {D}ue to their close phylogenetic relationship with seep species and tiny mussels from organic substrates, it was hypothesized that they gradually evolved from shallow to deeper environments, and specialized in decaying organic remains, then in seeps, and finally colonized deep-sea vents. {H}ere, we present a multigene phylogeny that reveals that most of the genera are polyphyletic and/or paraphyletic. {T}he robustness of the phylogeny allows us to revise the genus-level classification. {O}rganic remains are robustly supported as the ancestral habitat for {B}athymodiolinae. {H}owever, rather than a single step toward colonization of vents and seeps, recurrent habitat shifts from organic substrates to vents and seeps occurred during evolution, and never the reverse. {T}his new phylogenetic framework challenges the gradualist scenarios from shallow to deep. {M}ussels from organic remains tolerate a large range of ecological conditions and display a spectacular species diversity contrary to vent mussels, although such habitats are yet underexplored compared to vents and seeps. {O}verall, our data suggest that for deep-sea mussels, the high specialization to vent habitats provides ecological success in this harsh habitat but also brings the lineage to a kind of evolutionary dead end.},
