L’expédition a pour objectif de renforcer la connaissance actuelle de la biodiversité marine en Martinique par un inventaire quasi exhaustif des espèces qui sont encore méconnues (algues, éponges, mollusques, crustacés, échinodermes, ascidies…). Elle fait écho à la volonté des décideurs et gestionnaires de disposer des éléments nécessaires à la préservation du milieu marin. Elle vise également à sensibiliser le grand public à la beauté et à la richesse du patrimoine naturel marin, au travers de nombreuses actions de communication et de valorisation.

Buske Y. 2018. Lista inicial ilustrada de las babosas marinas (Heterobranquios) de la expedición Madibenthos, realizada en 2016 en Martinica (Antillas Menores, mar Caribe). Rev. Acad. Canar. Cienc XXX: 67-102
Abstract [+] [-]A systematic inventory of 135 species of marine slugs (Heterobranchs), collected during the Madibenthos-2016 expedition, of the MNHN Paris, on the island of Martinique (Madinida) is presented. To the list of inventoried species do not add existing ones in the literature, so that the list is a real reflection of the effort made during the expedition, only take into account some species documented by the second author and previous publications made on material from Martinique and / or Madibenthos by one of the authors. All the illustrated species are live animals in their natural environment made by Yan Buske.

Fedosov A.E., Caballer gutierrez M., Buge B., Sorokin P.V., Puillandre N. & Bouchet P. 2019. Mapping the missing branch on the neogastropod tree of life: molecular phylogeny of marginelliform gastropods. Journal of Molluscan Studies 85(4): 440–452. DOI:10.1093/mollus/eyz028
Abstract [+] [-]Marginelliform gastropods are a heterogeneous and diverse group of molluscs encompassing over 1,600 living species, among which are the smallest known neogastropods. The relationships of marginelliform gastropods within the order Neogastropoda are controversial, and the monophyly of the two marginelliform families the Marginellidae J. Fleming, 1828 and the Cystiscidae Stimpson, 1865, remains unconfirmed. DNA sequence data have never been used to assess the relationships of the marginelliform gastropods, making this group the only major branch missing in our current understanding of the neogastropod tree of life. Here we report results of the first multilocus phylogenetic analysis of marginelliform gastropods, which is based on a dataset comprising 63 species (20 genera) of Marginellidae and Cystiscidae, and a wide range of neogastropod lineages. The Marginellidae and Cystiscidae form a moderately supported clade that is sister to the family Volutidae. Marginellona gigas appears to be sister to all other marginelliforms. The subfamily Marginellinae was recovered as a well-supported clade, and good resolution of this part of the tree makes it possible to propose amendments to the family-level classification of the group. The relationship between Granulina and other marginelliforms could not be resolved and requires further study. Due to poor resolution of basal relationships within the Marginellidae–Cystiscidae clade, the monophyly of the Cystiscidae was neither confirmed nor convincingly rejected. The shell morphology of most marginellid and cystiscid genera is taxonomically not very informative but, nevertheless, of the traditionally recognized genera only Gibberula and Dentimargo were shown to be polyphyletic. Although a comprehensive systematic revision of the group requires more extensive taxonomic sampling (e.g. with better representation of the type species of nominal genus-group names), our results support the superfamily Volutoidea, comprising four families (Volutidae, Cystiscidae, Marginellidae and Marginellonidae), with the placement of the Granulinidae uncertain for the time being.

Garrigues B. & Lamy D. 2019. Inventaire des Muricidae récoltés au cours de la campagne MADIBENTHOS du MNHN en Martinique (Antilles Françaises) et description de 12 nouvelles espèces des genres Dermomurex, Attilosa, Acanthotrophon, Favartia, Muricopsis et Pygmaepterys (Mollusca, Gastropoda). Xenophora Taxonomy 23: 22-59
Abstract [+] [-]The first part of this article is a list of Muricidae collected during the MADIBENTHOS campaign around Martinique in 2016. Apart from the Coralliophilinae that will be treated later, 47 species have been identified. Among them, 12, new to science, are described in the second part. They belong to the genera Dermomurex, Attiliosa, Acanthotrophon, Favartia, Muricopsis and Pygmaepterys. In some cases, sequencing has been critical. In particular, it allowed to isolate three new species of the genus Muricopsis, not only very close but occupying neighboring geographical areas.

Abstract [+] [-]Several species of palaemonid shrimps are known to act as fish-cleaning symbionts, with cleaning interactions ranging from dedicated (obligate) to facultative. We confirmed five evolutionarily independent origins of fish cleaning symbioses within the family Palaemonidae based on a phylogenetic analysis and the ancestral state reconstruction of 68 species, including 13 fish-cleaners from the genera Ancylomenes, Brachycarpus, Palaemon, Periclimenes, and Urocaridella. We focus in particular on two distantly related lineages of fish cleaning shrimps with allopatric distributions, the Indo-West Pacific Ancylomenes and the western Atlantic monophyletic Ancylomenes/Periclimenes group, which exhibit striking similarities in morphology, colouration and complex behaviour. Specifically, representatives of both lineages are similar in: (1) the general body shape and colour pattern; (2) the utilization of sea anemones as conspicuous cleaning stations; and (3) the use of sideways body swaying to visually promote their bright colour spots in order to attract fish clients. Such morphological, ecological and ethological convergences are apparently due to adaptations to fish cleaning linked to the establishment of similar modes of communication with fish clients in these species.

Abstract [+] [-]An inventory of the marine benthic fauna around Martinique was the aim of the European Madibenthos expedition 2016. Among a large number of invertebrates abundant ascidians were collected: the phlebobranchs and Styelidae among the stolidobranch were already studied and the results published (Monniot 2018a and b). A third group, belonging to the Pyuridae and Molgulidae (Stolidobranchia) is studied here; it includes 13 species, three of them recorded for the second time. Each of them is described and figured and the geographic distribution is given.

Abstract [+] [-]The aim of the Madibenthos 2016 expedition was to establish an inventory of the benthic marine fauna around Martinique. All kinds of biota were collected with different devices down to 40m depth. Among a large amount of invertebrates the ascidians were varied and abundant. Their study will be made in several steps. The first group studied concerns the Order Phlebobranchia represented here by species already described from the Caribbean area; one of them was collected for only the second time. The variability of internal characters which are ordinarily considered as generic or specific is discussed here for the genera Ascidia and Phallusia

Abstract [+] [-]The marine biodiversity of the tropical northwestern Atlantic (TNWA) has been explored by many great naturalist expeditions. After more than one century of marine exploration, how well do we know its biodiversity? As a poorly studied taxon, sea spiders (Arthropoda: Pycnogonida Latreille, 1810) are excellent candidates to address this issue. Here, we report the results from the Madibenthos Survey conducted by the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (Paris) on the coasts of Martinique during Fall 2016, where sea spiders were collected during 138 sampling events by different methods. A total of 67 pycnogonid species, including 13 species probably new to science, were distinguished during this survey, whereas only 20 species were previously known from Martinique. Relying on an extensive and intensive sampling, the collection of pycnogonids from the Madibenthos Survey is one of the richest for TNWA. DNA barcoding based on 172 new CO1 sequences helped to discriminate species with inconspicuous diagnostic characters and pointed out 11 additional possible cryptic species. Richness estimators and species rarity indicate that the diversity of Martinique still remains underestimated. Results suggest that Martinique is not a hot spot for sea spiders and that similar levels of biodiversity might be expected in most other islands of the TNWA if similar sampling methods were applied. Finally, we show that the Caribbean and Atlantic coasts of Martinique harbor different sea spider faunas.
