AU  - Elisabeth Christians 
AB  - The Villefranche sur Mer marine station has received many names throughout its history, the last two of which are OOV for Observatoire Océanologique de Villefranche (1989) and IMEV for Institut de la Mer de Villefranche (since 2019). This special issue shows how this station is rich in history, architecture, geopolitics, science and strong personalities. At the end of the 18th century, naturalists had discovered the abundant biodiversity of the Villefranche bay: myriads of living forms so artistically assembled letting themselves transported by the sea along the currents and the seasons. The articles in this issue illustrate the tenacity of the scientists who seek to unravel the mysteries of this very diversified life. There are remarkable illustrations of scientists and artists who accompanied scientists or who got directly inspired by these uni-multicellular marine organisms.
