Outlier or Model Organism? The case of Cyprideis torosa (Jones, 1850) in palaeo-salinity reconstructions

Key Points

• Cyprideis torosa serves as a crucial model organism for palaeo-salinity reconstructions and environmental indicators.
• The study emphasizes the potential of fossil records in understanding past salinity levels, enhancing biostratigraphic analyses.
• Palaeo-salinity reconstructions utilizing Cyprideis torosa can offer insights into historical climate changes and aquatic environments.
• The findings call for more extensive assessments of biostratigraphic materials in reconstructing past ecological conditions.
