While these events may have led to the extinction of the majority of bacterial and archaeal cells living in cool and neutral-pH environments, the naturally acidic and geothermally heated environments of the crenarchaeal viruses and their hosts would not have been greatly affected.

Overall, the study shows that the diversity of crenarchaeal viruses in geothermally heated areas requires further attention, since the details could help scientists better understand the origins of life.

A strike of intermediate size meteor has to cause content size regional extinctions with much higher frequency than the worldwide events but likely leaves detectable persistent footprint in the genetics of the regional populations of the crenarchaeal viruses and their hosts in the regions most affected.
