How are animals/organisms with short lifespans such as mayflies not constantly mutating/evolving?
In: Biology
Mayflies don’t have a particularly short lifespan, it’s a year. Most of that is spent underwater in the nymph form. It’s only the mating/egg laying imago form that dies within a day of emerging.
