Resumo: | Research needs and interests on biodiversity have drastically increased since the Rio Conference (1992). The main conclusions from the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA, 2001) carried out by the UN and the demonstration of the critical role of biodiversity in maintaining ecosystems services have strengthened research interests on biodiversity. Moreover, the systemic approach generalization, complex system modeling, confluence of thematic prompting new scientific concepts, and multi-scalar – multifunctional approach have induced significant changes to the scientific context. A review of major advances on biodiversity monitoring and research resulting from Ifremer programs will be presented considering deep sea as well as coastal ecosystems and associated technologies. Development of benthic habitat mapping (e.g., REBENT), and data platforms and information systems on marine biodiversity (SINP, SIH, BIOCEAN) are all contributing to an improved spatial and temporal biodiversity observatory. Ifremer has already demonstrated its main interest in an active scientific strategy of cooperation through national research groups such as the IFB then FRB, ECCHIS GDR, European projects (HERMES), scientific coordination (REX MARBEF, Marine Genomics) as well as the European ERANETs (Biodiversa, Marinera, Marifish), and its involvement in the 'Census of Marine Life' international program. Beyond the next European Sea ERANET, an increased cooperation among scientific partners appears critical to address the three major scientific challenges regarding marine biodiversity: 1. explore and characterize marine biodiversity at various scales (landscapes, habitats, communities), 2. operational monitoring, and 3. development of functional biodiversity modeling to assess ecosystem resilience to the main trend changes of  impact vectors.
