Abstract

Climate change has profound effects on mosquito-related ecosystem services by altering temperature, humidity, and precipitation patterns. This study examines the long-term impacts of climate change on mosquito habitats, population dynamics, and ecosystem services, such as pollination, food web stability, and nutrient cycling. Research highlights that climate change not only extends mosquito breeding seasons but also modifies population composition and ecological interactions, enhancing their adaptability to new environmental conditions. However, these changes also result in negative impacts, such as population imbalances that disrupt ecosystem stability and biodiversity. The research synthesizes case studies, analyzing how mosquito-driven ecosystem services dynamically evolve in different regions under climate change, while underscoring the importance of ecosystem health and sustainable management.
