Area of Science:

  • Entomology
  • Biodiversity research
  • Canadian fauna

Background:

  • Mayflies (Ephemeroptera) are crucial indicators of aquatic ecosystem health.
  • Canada's mayfly fauna represents over half the North American species richness.
  • Previous assessments of Canadian mayfly diversity were published in 1979.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To update the inventory of valid mayfly species in Canada.
  • To analyze current species richness patterns and compare them to historical data.
  • To predict future species richness gains and identify areas for further research.

Main Methods:

  • Compilation of documented mayfly species, genera, and families from Canada.
  • Analysis of species richness distribution across families and geographic regions.
  • Utilization of DNA Barcode Index Numbers (BINs) for species identification and tracking.

Main Results:

  • Currently, 335 valid mayfly species in 82 genera and 21 families are known from Canada.
  • Species richness is highest in Heptageniidae (83 species), Baetidae (76 species), and Ephemerellidae (45 species).
  • A total of 328 DNA Barcode Index Numbers (BINs) are available for Canadian mayfly species, with anticipated gains of 66 species.

Conclusions:

  • Canadian mayfly diversity has significantly increased by 11.3% since 1979.
  • Future mayfly discoveries are expected in lentic habitats, eastern/western Canada, and even urban areas.
  • Continued research is vital for a comprehensive understanding of Canadian mayfly biodiversity.
