Preferred term

MUSORSTOM  

Definition

  • The deep benthos of the tropical seas represents one of the last frontiers of marine biodiversity, and recent deep-sea exploration confirms the Indo-Pacific as a major reservoir of unknown forms of life in all taxonomic groups. However, unlike most other tropical biological communities, the deep-sea benthos has suffered from a lack of focussed attention from zoologists and oceanographers. Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos, a continuation of Résultats des Campagnes MUSORSTOM, is a series dedicated to inventorying and describing the deep-sea faunas of the world, with special emphasis on the most extensive of its biogeographical regions: the Indo-Pacific. http://www.mnhn.fr/museum/foffice/science/science/DocScientifique/publications/presentation/listeParution/ficheParution.xsp?PARUTION_ID=305&PUBLICATION_ID=63&THEMPUB_ID=102&idx=6&nav=tableau1 (en)
