Predation potential of odonates on mosquito larvae: Implications for biological control (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

The paper explores the predatory role of odonate larvae (dragonflies and damselflies) on mosquito larvae in wetland habitats, such as rice fields. It highlights their potential for biological control in managing mosquito populations, supported by empirical evidence of their predation rates and efficiency. The findings suggest that implementing odonate larvae in mosquito regulation could contribute to conservation biological control strategies, emphasizing the importance of field-testing these methods.
