Yes, mayfly nymphs can serve as indicators of water quality. They are sensitive to pollution and changes in their environment, so their presence typically signifies good water quality, while their absence or a decline in their population may indicate poor water conditions. Monitoring mayfly populations can thus be useful for assessing ecosystem health.
What else can I help you with?
Why might bloodworms be able to live in polluted water with not much oxygen while mayfly nymphs cannot survive?
Bloodworms, the larvae of midge flies, possess a unique adaptation that allows them to thrive in low-oxygen environments. They can tolerate high levels of pollution and have a hemoglobin-rich blood that efficiently binds and transports oxygen, enabling them to survive where oxygen levels are depleted. In contrast, mayfly nymphs are more sensitive to water quality and oxygen levels, making them less capable of enduring polluted conditions. Their physiological requirements for clean, oxygen-rich water limit their survival in such environments.
