This work is a contribution to the knowledge of the Ephemeroptera
(Insecta) fauna of the central Balkan Peninsula. A total of 85 mayfly
species (31 genera and 12 families) were reported. The largest number of
mayfly species was recorded within the Juzna and Zapadna Morava river
basins, while the lowest taxa richness was observed within the Sava
basin. The highest diversity was observed in hilly mountainous regions
due to the general environmental requirements of the majority of mayfly
taxa, as well as the distribution of anthropogenic stress. Lowland areas
have been more exposed to different stress factors that could reduce
mayfly taxa richness in comparison to the hilly mountainous region
located south of the Danube and Sava rivers. Compared with species
richness in neighbouring countries, the expected mayfly diversity for
Serbia is certainly higher; it has been estimated that over 100 taxa
should occur in different types of aquatic ecosystems.
