How does one describe the atmosphere of incredible peace that seeps into one’s soul in the wilds of Angola? Just me and the open bush, with a myriad different wild bog-orchids blooming to tempt me further and further from the camp to see yet another gorgeous bloom. Walking along the banks of the remote rivers, so peaceful now, yet witness to one of the most horrible civil wars in Africa, it’s hard to imagine that this beautiful place was ravaged by 27 years of civil war between 1975 and 2002. Yet the rusting armoured tanks (Figure 1) and trucks along the roadsides, missiles, and the occasional pock-marked ruins of once fine buildings are a stark reminder of darker times. Uncleared landmines are still a danger to anyone walking around in the bush in many parts of the country. The HALO Trust, an international H.M.Barber-James organisation committed to help countries recover Figure 1. An old army tank, once an emblem of fear, now a place of social after conflict by removing landmines and other gathering. post-war hazards, has an Angolan team which advises the NGOWP exploration and research teams which areas are safe and which are no-go areas. They have cleared areas so that many of the rural villages can once more be occupied safely, but the red and white markings painted on the trees are a sinister reminder not to go beyond that point. I was privileged to be part of the scientific team exploring the diversity of flora and fauna in the beautiful, remote Angolan highlands (Figure 2), with my freshwater invertebrate research team present on four expeditions between 2016-2019. Even the journey to reach the sites was an adventure (Figure 3). The unusual source lakes in the headwater valleys, grass and sedge-banked, flanked with stretches of miombo woodland on the higher ground beyond, are unique to this region. The lakes, high up in the plateau of the catchment, despite their name “source lake”, are not actually the source of the rivers. Typically, a deep, crystal-clear spring, fed by the surrounding marshland and peatbogs, gurgles into the head of a lake (Figure 4), with a larger stream forming at the outlet of the lake. These source lakes are not large, most are less than a square kilometre in area, but are very beautiful. However, they are remarkably difficult to access, surrounded by deep, marshy wetland and peat Figure 2.

The bogs, which have been measured to a depth of Okavango Delta is dependent on water from this region, as is Lake Kariba five meters (National Geographic, 2016).

round, even in the dry season. The stream exiting a lake can soon become quite a big river, in turn feeding into other larger swiftly flowing sand-bed rivers. The underlying geology is composed of ancient Kalahari sands, and the bottoms of the lakes and rivers is sandy, with very few areas of rock. The lakes are often covered with water lilies, Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea (Figures 5 and 6), which have immense tubers, delicious to eat when cooked properly (Figure 6). These tubers seem to provide habitat for some of the burrowing mayflies in the area (Polymitarcyidae,Povilla sp.), and hours of searching produced a few tiny larvae; seemingly it was the wrong season for the adults as none were collected at the November light traps. One of the challenges of working there is that the lakes and rivers are inhabited by crocodiles, which rather limits the freedom of collecting within the lake and in the deeper pools in the rivers. The river beds are rich in aquatic macrophytes which harbour a variety of interesting mayfly species, although that being said, the area has a rather low diversity of species. A point of great interest, noted in particular at the Cuananvale source lake in November 2019, was the minute size of several of the adult aquatic insects collected, including a tiny dragonfly, a minuscule caenid mayfly, and an even smaller than usual hydroptilid caddis, all of which are species new to science. We speculate that H.M.Barber-James the small size of these organisms may be due to the low nutrients in these Figure 6. Water lily stem being harvested, leached, sandy environments, which possibly also may account for the low looking for Povilla larvae, but later eaten for diversity. The diversity increases considerably in areas with hard substrate. dinner. Assisted by Mr Water, our expert ma- koro poler. Volume 23(1) June 2020 The Mayfly Newsletter 4
There is very little rocky habitat, and the occasional waterfall provides a very different fauna to the sandy bottomed lakes and rivers, as would be expected. The magnificent waterfall at the Luanginga River (Figure 7), for example, produced nymphs of the enormous Elassoneuria grandis (Oligoneuriidae), while in quite backwater pools nearby, larvae of the detritus-loving Machadorythus (Machadorythidae) (Figure 8) lurked in the shallows, their strange stalk-like eyes peering above the fine detrital particles covering the rocks. Machadorythus maculatus was the only species documented from Angola before the start of these NGOWP expeditions, described in 1959 by the Belgian, Georges Demoulin (Demoulin, 1959). The Cunde River and its associated waterfall also provided C.Boyes Figure 7. Waterfall on the Luanginga River. interesting specimens, including a new species of Pseusdopannota (Baetidae) (the brush-mouthed Ophelmatostoma group), and the delightful flattened nymph of the tinyDicercomyzon (Dicercomyzidae) (Figure 8). Many of the sand-bottomed rivers have large trees growing into the water (Figure 9), both the “waterberry” Syzygium cordatum subsp. cordatum and a member of the Proteaceae family, Faurea saligna being common. These can at times block the entire river channel, making it difficult to travel along the river in the typical dug-out style of canoe used in these parts, known as a makoro. We were poled along in makoros by an expert guide a few times, both in the lakes and along some of the rivers to assist us with insect collecting (it was great fun). It was interesting to see that the submerged branches of the trees provided hard substrate for the Heptageniidae mayflies occurring in these rivers. These rivers also have an abundance

Fire is a natural occurrence in this ecosystem, and is thought to have been the main driver causing the formation of the unusual geoxylic “underground” forests that are typical of this region. Here, the trees that form part of the canopied miombo woodland just a few meters higher up the slope, appear with only their leaves and flowers visible at the surface of the ground, the rest of the form being beneath the ground. These strange forests occur in the region between the edge of the marshy land, leading to the slightly higher ground that supports the more usual woodland form. Fire certainly has a big effect on the waterbodies, and this needs investigation in future studies. The network of rivers draining the southern Angolan highlands feeds both the world renowned Okavango swamps in Botswana, and the mighty Zambezi River system, which flows through Zambia, forming the northern border of Zimbabwe, and across Mozambique to the Indian Ocean. The preservation of these “water tower” rivers in Angola (Figure 2) is therefore of the utmost importance for sustaining both of these important ecosystems and the many lives associated with them. Too frequent burning of the vegetation to flush out animals for hunting, and clearing the ground to plant crops such as cassava, is increasingly becoming in a problem as the ground is very nutrient poor, and unsuited to crop growing. This changes the nature of the vegetation and results in erosion of the river banks, altering the sponge-like natural regulation of water flow from the wetlands, with disastrous ecological consequences. If these highland rivers and lakes become degraded, changing the natural slow release of pure water from the wetlands, the Okavango swamps will dry up, affecting countless families who live in the area as well as the abounding wildlife for which the area is famous. The Zambezi will become a much reduced river, affected all along the course (with important hydroelectricity generation at lakes Kariba in Zimbabwe and Cahora Bassa in Mozambique being but one factor to consider). The importance of these NGOWP project surveys contributes to setting up protected areas to ensure that this doesn’t happen, and the documenting of myriads of unusual insects, fish, frogs, plants, fungi, birds and mammals, makes one realise just what a unique and special wilderness this area is.

Interesting Mayfly Fact:
A new method called the Mayfly Algorithm (MA) to solve optimization problems was inspired by mayfly flight behaviour!
Zervoudakis K and Tsafarakis S. 2020. A mayfly optimization algorithm. Comput- ers & Industrial Engineering, 145, article 106559. https://doi.org/10.1016/j. cie.2020.106559
Abstract This paper introduces a new method called the Mayfly Algorithm (MA) to solve optimization problems. Inspired from the flight behavior and the mating process of mayflies, the proposed algorithm combines major advantages of swarm intelligence and evolutionary algorithms. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, 38 mathematical benchmark functions, including 13 CEC2017 test functions, are employed and the results are compared to those of seven state of the art well-known metaheuristic optimization methods. The MA’s performance is also assessed through convergence behavior in multi-objective optimization as well as using a real-world discrete flow-shop scheduling problem. The comparison results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in terms of convergence rate and convergence speed. The processes of nuptial dance and random flight enhance the balance be- tween algorithm’s exploration and exploitation properties and assist its escape from local optima.

IUCN Mayfly Report Craig MacAdam Conservation Director Buglife - The Invertebrate Conservation Trust Peterborough, UK [email protected]
At the 2015 meeting in Aberdeen, Scotland, we heard from Will Darwall of the IUCN Freshwater Biodiversity Unit who explained the work of the unit and the current state of assessment of conservation status for Ephemeroptera for the IUCN Red List. To recap, the IUCN Red List only contains assessments for three species of Ephemeroptera: Pentagenia robusta and Acanthametropus pecatonica, which are considered Extinct; and Tasmanophlebia lacuscoerulei which is as- sessed as Globally Endangered. There are of course many regional Red List assessments that include Ephemeroptera species (e.g., KŁonowska-Olejnik 2002, Farkac et al. 2005, Wagner and Sartori 2012, Macadam 2016), however conservation activities focussed on mayflies is mostly lacking. Following discussion at the Aberdeen meeting it was agreed that we would establish a specialist group for mayflies and stoneflies under the auspices of the IUCN Species Survival Commission. The process for establishing the group took much longer than expected, and along the way we decided to invite our colleagues working on Trichoptera to join us, as they were considering establishing a separate group for caddisflies. After over four years of discussion and deliberation with the IUCN, we finally established the group in 2019. The group aims are to promote the conservation of mayfly, stonefly and caddisfly species and their habitats around the world. The goal is to raise awareness of these small but important insect orders and undertake red list assessments to inform practical conservation activities. At present we have two co-chairs, myself and Astrid Schmidt-Kloiber from BOKU, Vienna, and the Red List Authority Coordinator for the group is Lyndall Pereira da Conceicoa, of the Natural His- tory Museum, London. The first year since establishment has been a real learning curve, and has been spent establishing the group. We now have webpages on the IUCN Species Survival Commission website (https://www.iucn.org/commissions/ssc- groups/invertebrates/mayfly-stonefly-and-caddisfly) and a Twitter account (@IUCN_riverflies). We also have a fantas- tic logo courtesy of Astrid’s artistic talents! The next stages are to prepare to start undertaking Red List assessments. Lyndall has been training as a Red List Authority Co-ordinator which will allow her to confirm and finalise any assessments undertaken by the group. We have been discussing programmes of assessment in a number of areas, including South Africa, Madagascar and India. There are a few different approaches to assessing the status of species in a country. We can assess the whole fauna in one go, or we can assess all the widespread species (which are likely to qualify as Least Concern), or we can focus on endemic species, where any assessment that is made will be a de facto Global assessment. Regardless of the ap- proach the first stage is to review data sources and compile data for the area. orF many areas, the data are either old or incomplete; however, that does not necessarily mean that assessments can’t be undertaken. When the data have been collated, a preliminary assessment can be undertaken. A key part of the assessment is to identify threats, and this is where local knowledge is invaluable. Preliminary assessments are therefore shared with local researchers to ‘sense check’ them and to highlight where threats may be acting upon the species. This can either be undertaken on a one-to-one basis or as a workshop where participants can share their knowledge of the species and the habitats it oc- curs in. Following this consultation, the assessments are updated and then reviewed by another Red List Assessment expert, and signed off by the Red List Authority Coordinator. If you’d like to find out more or get involved in the work of the group please get in touch by emailingcraig.macad - [email protected]

VI SYMPOSIUM OF NEOTROPICAL AQUATIC INSECTS
Dear colleagues It is our pleasure to extend to you an invitation to attend the “VI SYMPOSIUM OF NEOTROPICAL AQUATIC INSECTS” (VI SIAN), which will be held in Ilhéus, Bahia, Brazil, 2nd semester of 2021. Ilhéus is a pleasant place located in the south coast of State of Bahia. The city is imprinted in the literary and cultural memory of Brazilians for having been the setting for the works of Jorge Amado, author of famous books such as “Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon” and “Dona Flor and their two husbands”. The SIAN conference has been organized since 2012 and attracted participants from all South America to discuss progress on studies of aquatic insects, including a wide range of subjects such as systematics, biogeography, ecology, biomonitoring, and natural history. Traditionally the Symposium had been taking place in the first semester every two years, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the next SIAN will be in the 2nd semester of 2021. You will find detailed information on the Symposium webpage (https://visian2021.wixsite.com/visian?lang=en), on Instagram (@visian) or contact us by e-mail ([email protected]).

We’re looking for submissions to the Mayfly Newsletter!
Do you have anything you’d like to share with your fellow ephemeropterists? In addition to the Notices, Mayfly Bibliography, and information about the upcoming International Meeting, we’d like to include project updates, book reviews, notices of upcoming meetings of interest to Ephemeroptera workers, requests for collaboration, and any interesting notes about mayflies.
So - my questions to you - Are you looking for collaborators on a project? Do you have some spectacular mayfly photos that you’d like to share with your colleagues? Is there a special collecting site or new collecting method whose details would be of interest to other mayfly workers? Have you ever had an adventure in collecting mayflies? We publish our data in our research papers, but sometimes the story behind the story is equally interesting!
Deadlines: - Summer issue: May 15 - Winter issue: Dec. 1
