A propos de cet article
Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos, a continuation of Résultats des Campagnes MUSORSTOM, is a series dedicated to the inventory and description of the deep-sea fauna of the world, with special emphasis on the most extensive, yet remote and least explored, region - the Indo-West Pacific. The comprehensive series of marine expeditions undertaken by the French Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle and the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) continue to collect many new, strange and sometimes colourful crustaceans. The present volume includes for the first time results from recent expeditions off Mozambique, South Madagascar, and Papua New Guinea. Research on this expedition material rests on a worldwide network of carcinologists at the front lines of taxonomic research. Indeed, the list of authors of Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos volume 27 reads like a "who's who" of crustacean biodiversity research. Altogether, the volume comprises descriptions and new occurrences for more than 200 species, of which 27 are new species, including cirripeds, crabs, prawns, amoured shrimps, lobsters, squat lobsters, and hermit crabs. Many are illustrated by spectacular colour images of freshly caught species. de Forges et al.: The MUSORSTOM-TDSB deep sea Benthos exporation programme (1976-2012): An overview of crustacean discoveries and new perspectives on deep-sea zoology and biogeography.
