Luke M. Jacobus studies mayflies (an order of aquatic insects called Ephemeroptera), focusing on describing new species and genera and clarifying the classification of various mayfly groups from regions including Asia, North America, and South America. This work contributes to the basic taxonomic and biodiversity knowledge needed to understand freshwater insect diversity and ecology. Students interested in insect taxonomy, freshwater biodiversity, and species description work would find this research relevant.

Publication output has been variable over the last decade, dipping in 2023-2024 before a very large surge of records in 2026, suggesting a recent batch release of taxonomic descriptions rather than a steady year-to-year pace.
