What happens when biodiversity drops? Disease-ridden mosquitoes turn to us. 🦟
This alarming study shows that as wildlife declines, mosquitoes increasingly feed on humans — raising the risk of diseases like dengue and yellow fever.
A clear reminder that ecosystem health is indeed public health.

This study suggests many mammals live longer when they don’t reproduce, especially females, likely because reproduction is so demanding on the body.
