What’s your point then? I said that removing all mosquitoes regardless of whether they are invasive or not could disrupt the ecosystems they are in. What does the competitive advantage of invasive species has to do with that?
Becuase they are not trying to eradicate every single mosquito. They are targeting the worst of the worst species such as the Anopheles, Aedea, and Culex.
Those species are driving native species extinct and causing tenfold ecological and transmission damage due to their aggressive invasive nature. That’s why they’ve been marked for extermination.
I also assure you that the disruption to their ecological niches will be minimal. They fill no niche that isn’t fulfilled by other species, and they play little to no role in the food chain.

I am not completely sold on this but I also don’t have any arguments against this tbh
It is a tricky game, and I won’t say that I have all the answers, so I’m just repeating what current research has found. That’s also the point of carefully researching and planning out each step, and why this process is not being done in a gung ho, breakneck manner. Though from what we currently know, mosquitoes are shockingly small contributors to their environments compared to their impacts.

Got it. Thanks.
