The Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera (EPT) community structure and the specific sensitivity of certain EPT genera were found to be influenced by water parameters in the rivers of Gunung Jerai Forest Reserve (GJFR) in the north of peninsular Malaysia. The scores of EPT taxa richness of >10 in all rivers indicated all rivers' habitats were non-impacted, having good water quality coinciding with Class I and Class II of Malaysian water quality index (WQI) classification of potable water. The abundance of EPT was very high in Teroi River (9,661 individuals) but diversity was lower (22 genera) than Tupah River which was highly diverse (28 genera) but lower in abundance (4,263 individuals). The lowest abundance and moderate diversity was recorded from Batu Hampar River (25 genera). spp. and spp., spp. and spp. were the most common genera found. Classification for all rivers using EPT taxa Richness Index and WQI gave different category of water quality, respectively. The WQI classified Tupah and Batu Hampar rivers into Class II and Teroi River (Class I) was two classes above the classification of the EPT taxa Richness Index.
在马来西亚半岛北部的吉辇山森林保护区（GJFR）的河流中，蜉蝣目、襀翅目和毛翅目（EPT）群落结构以及某些EPT属的特定敏感性被发现受到水参数的影响。所有河流中EPT分类单元丰富度得分大于10，表明所有河流的栖息地未受影响，水质良好，符合马来西亚饮用水水质指数（WQI）分类中的I类和II类。特罗伊河的EPT丰度非常高（9661只个体），但多样性低于图帕河，图帕河多样性高（28属）但丰度低（4263只个体）。巴图汉帕尔河的丰度最低，多样性适中（25属）。 spp.和 spp.、 spp.和 spp.是最常见的属。使用EPT分类单元丰富度指数和WQI对所有河流进行分类，分别得出了不同类别的水质。WQI将图帕河和巴图汉帕尔河归类为II类，而特罗伊河（I类）比EPT分类单元丰富度指数的分类高出两个类别。
