Abstract
Resurrection ecology (RE) is a very powerful approach to address a wide range of question in ecology and evolution. This approach rests on using appropriate model systems, and only few are known to be available. In this study, we show that Artemia has multiple attractive features (short generation time, cyst bank and collections, well‐documented phylogeography, and ecology) for a good RE model. We show in detail with a case study how cysts can be recovered from sediments to document the history and dynamics of a biological invasion. We finally discuss with precise examples the many RE possibilities with this model system: adaptation to climate change, to pollution, to parasites, to invaders and evolution of reproductive systems.
Highlights
We present the hypersaline macrocrustacean brine shrimp Artemia (Crustacea, Branchiopoda, Anostraca) as a valuable model system for Resurrection ecology (RE)
We present how Artemia egg banks can be obtained from sediment cores, with an example of such an approach from our own work in the Aigues-Mortes saltern in South France
We present below a study addressing these questions
