A mayfly niche refers to the specific ecological role and habitat that mayflies occupy within freshwater ecosystems. As aquatic insects, mayflies are primarily found in clean, well-oxygenated waters where they serve as important indicators of environmental health. They play a crucial role in the food web; their nymphs are a food source for fish and other aquatic animals, while adults contribute to nutrient cycling and are prey for birds and other predators. Their short adult lifespan and unique life cycle stages also influence the dynamics of the ecosystems they inhabit.
