title: Phylogeography and local endemism of Artemia salina (Cruatacea, Anostraca) in the hypersaline Lake Sasyk-Sivash (Crimea)
abstract: For the first time, the molecular genetics study and phylogenetic analysis of the bisexual Artemia population were carried out in the hypersaline lake Sasyk-Sivash (Crimea, Russia). A comparative analysis of the lake population and 20 different populations of A. salina studied earlier was carried out. The A. salina population from Lake Sasyk Sivash holds substantial genetic diversity, have a pronounced phylogeographic structure and high regional endemism. Motivation: The brine shrimp genus Artem
