Data from: Resurrection ecology in Artemia

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 paper, 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.

复活生态学（Resurrection Ecology，RE）是一种可用于解决生态学与进化生物学领域广泛研究问题的高效研究范式。该研究范式依赖于合适的模式系统，但目前已知可用的模式系统寥寥无几。本文证实，卤虫（Artemia）具备多项适配复活生态学研究模式系统的优良特性：世代周期短、拥有休眠卵库及采集品系，且其系统地理学与生态学特征已有充分的研究记录。本文通过一则案例研究详细演示了如何从沉积物中复苏卤虫卵囊，以解析生物入侵的历史与动态过程。最后，本文结合具体实例，探讨了该模式系统在复活生态学研究中的诸多应用方向：包括对气候变化、环境污染、寄生虫侵染、生物入侵的适应性演化，以及生殖系统的进化研究。
