Abstract
The Marmara Region holds an important place in Türkiye's zoogeography and biodiversity, as the Macedonia-Thrace refuge, in which it is located, serves as an entranceway for European faunal elements to Anatolia. Although comprehensive studies have been conducted on the mayflies in some provinces of the Marmara Region, only four species have been reported from Sakarya province, which has many valuable aquatic habitats, and there is no detailed study.
This study, conducted in the Akçay Creek, aimed to address the deficiencies in the Marmara Region and provide more precise data on the Ephemeroptera fauna of the region. In this study, conducted in the Akçay Creek, 10 genera and 15 species belonging to five families were identified from the collected specimens. Thirteen of these species were reported for the first time from this area and are new records for Sakarya province.
