A study in laboratory simulated streams revealed that the mayfly genus Centroptilum increased the export of periphyton, [32] thus indirectly affecting primary production positively, which is an essential process for ecosystems. The mayfly can also reallocate and alter the nutrient availability in aquatic habitats through the process of ...

[4] Siphlonisca is a monotypic genus, meaning Siphlonisca aerodromia is the only species within this genus. [7] The species is univoltine, meaning one generation is produced ...
The group is sometimes referred to as flat-headed mayflies or stream mayflies.These are generally rather small mayflies with three long tails. The wings are usually clear with prominent venation although species with variegated wings are known.
