If mosquitoes are eliminated ,will it affect the Eco balance?

Answer 1

All animals and plants are here for a purpose. If you examine the food webs of any particular area you will find the most unsavory animals or plants forming an integral part of it. Mosquitoes are both predators and prey. They are used for food by fish, frogs, and other animals. Just because they suck blood (only the females) it does not mean they are useless. Even the diseases they transfer require them to be part of that organisms life cycle. If we eliminate them other animals will fill in the missing space created by their extinction. Who knows if these organisms will be better or worse?

Answer 2

YES, IT WOULD AFFECT THE ECO BALANCE, DUE IN PART THAT THE MOSQUITOE, ALTHOUGH A PEST ARE ACTUALLY A FOOD SOURCE ON A GRAND SCALE TO MANY OTHER CREATURES THE WORLD OVER. FISH, BIRDS, OTHERS INSECTS AS WELL AS HUMANS IN SOME PARTS OF EQUATORIAL AFRICA COUNT ON MOSQUITOES AS A FOOD SOURCE. IN ADDITION, IT WOULD PRACTICALLY BE IMPOSSIBLE TO ELIMINATE ALL MOSQUITOES THEY ARE FAR TOO MANY IN NUMBER, SPECIES AND RANGE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, EXCEPT MAYBE ANTARCTICA. BUT WITH GLOBAL WARMING A PROBLEM IT PROBABLE WON'T BE TOO LONG BEFORE THEY ARE THERE.

Answer 3

Of course. When a species extinct, there will be unbalance in the ecosystem, especially in the food chain. For this case it can affect mosquito predator like frog and than frog predator like snake and so on and so on

Answer 4

It would destroy it, if mosquitoes were gone the predators that eat them would eat more of other prey, eliminating other species, once prey is gone the predators dissappear, entire ecosystems could be destroyed.

Answer 5

I think so, lots of species of birds and mammals feed on mosquitoes...and there are many different kinds of mosquitoes.
