globally, there are ~3500 described mosquito species in the Culicidae family and many of these are important vectors of disease but only a small percentage have genomic resources. we are launching a pilot project to generate high quality reference genomes for 100 important mosquito species [1/3]

A new study led by #EnvironmentalHealth postdoc Lisa Couper finds #mosquitoes may genetically adapt to #ClimateChange more than expected. Her team's findings show increasing risk of #WestNileVirus, #Malaria & other diseases due to the insects' heat tolerance. #GlobalWarming ow.ly/Uzro50V3BRl
New research shows mosquitoes may be able to adapt to warming temperatures
The heat tolerance the research team saw “exceeds that of projected climate warming,” according to the published paper.

Mosquitoes Adapt to a Warming Environment
Genetic alterations may help mosquitoes adjust to climate change, shifting the distribution of mosquito-borne disease in a warming planet.

Thrilled to see this work, led by @lisacouper.bsky.social now out!
We quantified variation in thermal tolerance in the mosquito, Aedes sierrensis, to quantify how adaptation may alter disease vector distributions under warming. 🧵

Rising temperatures are not slowing #mosquitoes down... A new study coauthored by Stanford's Lisa Couper and @stanfordwoods.bsky.social Erin Mordecai finds that mosquitoes -- and the diseases they carry -- can adapt to hotter temperatures. Read the study: bit.ly/3PqTNw8
