Bardh L. Xerxa, holds a PhD in Ecology and Environmental Sciences. Bardh studies freshwater invertebrates in Kosovo (focus on Mayflies) and is interested in questions of taxonomy, systematics, biogeography and ecology. Moreover, Bardh is an experienced Ecologist, specialising in freshwater biomonitoring using macroinvertebrates. Particular interest in Mayflies (Insecta: Ephemeroptera).

    This research provides the first systematic contribution to the mayfly (Ephemeroptera) Fauna of Kosovo. This investigation was conducted from March to November in 2017 and 2018; 32 sites were sampled covering the different freshwater ecosystems of the country. The first checklist of mayflies of Kosovo is provided. During this survey, we found 48 species belonging to 20 genera and nine families. The highest number of species belongs to the following two families, Heptageniidae (24) and Baetidae (9). This investigation is a contribution to the knowledge about taxonomy, biogeography, and ecology of mayflies of the Balkan Peninsula by giving new data on species composition and distribution range in Kosovo.
