Studies on population dynamics are not in the works for us, but it certainly be a good future direction.

This paper provides an explanatory glimpse to organismal observations we made in an earlier paper, which we feel do have ecological implications. In that paper, we demonstrate that warmer temperature accelerates reproductive senescence. doi.org/10.3389/fphy...
Frontiers | Warmer temperature accelerates reproductive senescence in mosquitoes
To reproduce, most female mosquitoes must ingest blood to obtain nutrients for viable eggs. Global warming is increasing mosquito body temperature and hamper...

The immune deficiency and c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathways drive the functional integration of the immune and circulatory systems of mosquitoes | Open Biology
The immune and circulatory systems of animals are functionally integrated. In mammals,
the spleen and lymph nodes filter and destroy microbes circulating in the blood and
lymph, respectively. In insec...

Warmer environmental temperature accelerates aging in mosquitoes, decreasing longevity and worsening infection outcomes - Immunity & Ageing
Background Most insects are poikilotherms and ectotherms, so their body temperature is predicated by environmental temperature. With climate change, insect body temperature is rising, which affects ho...
