Higher Arctic temperatures may bring on the mosquitoes
~!!~Mosquito eggs in the Arctic are laid in shallow ponds and hatch during the springtime snow melt// The model concluded that with warmer Arctic temperatures, the mosquito eggs were able to hatch sooner and reach maturity more quickly, decreasing the time they are vulnerable to predators// This would increase the total amount of adult mosquitoes//
~!!~Earlier this year, a U//N// panel for Arctic warming predicted average temperatures could rise 2 degrees Celsius// The study found that temperature increase gave Arctic mosquitoes a 53% increase in survival//
