Between July 2013 and April 2015, 1019 aqueous samples were collected from 974 geothermal features within 18 geothermal fields in the TVZ. A 3 L water column sample was taken (to 1 m depth where possible) from each geothermal spring, lake, stream, or the catchment pool of geysers for microbial and chemical analyses. Samples were collected either at the centre of the feature or at ~3 m from the edge to target well-mixed and/or more representative samples, depending on safety and size of the spring. Comprehensive physical and chemical measurements, and field observational metadata were recorded contemporaneously with a custom-built application and automatically uploaded to a database (Supplementary Table 7). All samples were filtered within 2 h of collection and stored accordingly. Total DNA was extracted using a modified CTAB method59 (link) with the PowerMag Microbial DNA Isolation Kit using SwiftMag technology (MoBio Laboratories, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene was amplified in triplicate using universal Earth Microbiome Project44 (link) primers F515 (5′-GTGCCAGCMGCCGCGGTAA-3′) and R806 (5′-GGACTACVSGGGTATCTAAT-3′), details of which can be found in Supplementary Methods. SPRIselect (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA) was used to purify DNA following amplification. Amplicon sequencing was performed using the Ion PGM System for Next-Generation Sequencing with the Ion 318v2 Chip and Ion PGM Sequencing 400 Kits (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).
Forty-six separate physicochemical parameters were determined for each geothermal spring sample collected. Inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to determine the concentrations of aqueous metals and non-metals (31 species; a full list is provided in Supplementary Table 7), and various UV–vis spectrometry methods were used to determine aqueous nitrogen species ( NH4+ , NO3- , NO2- ), Fe2+, and PO43- , with H2S, HCO3- , and Cl determined via titration, and SO42– concentration measured via ion chromatography (IC). COND, dO, ORP, pH, and TURB were determined using a Hanna Instruments (Woonsocket, RI, USA) multiparameter fieldmeter at room temperature. Spring temperature (TEMP) was measured in situ immediately after sampling, using a Fluke 51-II thermocouple (Fluke, Everett, WA, USA).
Expanded details on sampling procedures, sample processing, and protocols for DNA extraction, DNA amplification, and chemical analyses can be found in Supplementary Methods and Supplementary Table 7.

The morphological characteristics of O. viverrini (Ov) and minute intestinal flukes (MIFs) eggs are similar. So, the Ov egg was confirmed by specific PCR amplification from genomic DNA using OvNad5 primer as previously described [30 (link)]. PCR amplifications were done by using GoTaq® Colorless Master Mix (Promega, USA) containing 3 µL of genomic DNA, and 25 pmol of each forward and reverse primer (OvNad5-F: TTTGCGGAGGTTTGTTACCT and OvNad5-R: CACCTCACCAATTCAACACG) in a thermal cycler (Mastercycler nexus Eppendorf flexlid, Germany). The amplification steps were including initial denaturation at 95ºC for 5 min, followed by 35 cycles of denaturation at 95ºC for 1 min, annealing at 55 ºC for 1 min, extension at 72 ºC for 1 min, and one cycle of a final extension at 72 ºC for 10 min. The PCR products were size separated on 2% agarose gel containing ViSafe Red Gel Stain (Vivantis, USA) using 1X TBE buffer at 80 V for 2 h. The PCR products were confirmed for their correction by DNA sequencing service (Macrogen, Republic of Korea).

The weight of each animal was acquired when sedated, after administrations of Telazol and Methohexatol and prior to intubation. Once intubated, arterial pressures were monitored while under anesthesia to ensure that there were no adverse cardiac events prior to organ explantation.
Once isolated and perfused, perfusate flow through the abdominal aorta and renal arteries was delivered via the pulsatile pump and the arterial pressure of the given kidney block was acquired using pressure transducers on a custom EMKA system (EMKA Technologies) to ensure an average systolic pressure of 120 mm Hg. Temperature of the kidney capsule was monitored using a temperature probe (Fluke Corporation) and maintained at 37 ± 0.5°C. Once perfused, urinary flow was measured every 15 min for up to 3 h, using a graduated cylinder and a stopwatch. Concurrently, urinary and perfusate samples were taken and analyzed using an ABL90 Flex Plus blood gas analyzer (Radiometer) to compare urine and perfusate compositions.
While most of the data were acquired in real time, dimensions of the renal arteries were postprocessed from renal angiograms. Images of the left and right renal angiograms were taken immediately after perfusion was started using an Isovue® contrast agent. The images were imported into ImageJ (National Institutes of Health) where the 6F (2 mm diameter) guide catheter used to deliver the contrast was used as a reference to calibrate the measuring tool. Once calibrated, the measuring tool was used to measure the length and takeoff angles of the main renal arteries as well as the diameter of the proximal, middle, and distal main segments (see Figure 3). All statistical analysis for this study was performed via Minitab software (State College).

Tag orientation on the whale was corrected and animal orientation in the water was calculated using custom-written scripts in Matlab (2014a; Natick, Massachusetts: MathWorks, Inc.) (following [32 (link),49 (link)]). The whale’s reference frame was thus x (longitudinal), y (lateral) and z (dorso-ventral). The whale’s dive profile was categorized into three phases: descent, bottom foraging, and ascent, to distinguish the decent/ascent phases of diving from feeding [50 (link)] prior to comparing with prey distribution data. We calculated the descent and ascent times for the entire data set using pitch and water depth parameters. Descent time was defined by cut-off thresholds between 0 m at the surface and the depth at which the first zero pitch angle occurred, signalling that the animal was no longer descending. Ascent started at the first pitch angle ≥ +40° with subsequent decreasing depth and ended when depth equaled zero. Foraging time was defined as the time between the end of a descent and the start of an ascent, and recovery time at the surface was the time between the end of an ascent and the start of the next dive [50 (link)]. Animal speed was estimated from changes in depth over time and turbulent flow that vibrated the tag (tag “jiggle” [51 (link)]). Lunge feeding events were identified from stereotypical kinematic spikes in speed, pitch angle and tag jiggle amplitude (tag “jerk”) using custom lunge-audit scripts in Matlab 2017b [32 (link),51 (link)]. A lunging rorqual typically accelerates toward prey using strong tail thrusts (fluking) and coincident quick changes in body orientation (e.g., pitch, roll and heading), immediately followed by rapid deceleration at the time of mouth opening [13 (link),32 (link)]. The duration between these signal maxima represented the time interval between consecutive lunges. We averaged the signal maxima across lunges to obtain an overall estimate of mean lunge speed and pitch for the deployment. Fluking behaviour before each lunge was visually inspected using a custom-written application [52 ] in R software (v. 4.1.1; R Core Team, 2021) that highlighted peaks in oscillatory frequency (fluke strokes as f, 1/period) along the y-axis of the gyroscope signal [53 (link)]. To visualize a pseudotrack of the whale’s underwater behaviour, the combined animal orientation and GPS data were imported into Trackplot software (v. 2.3) [54 (link)].
