#18 teaser: Exploring Why Mosquitoes Exist with Cassandra Fieldson
from Being a Scientist Hosted by Srishti
Mosquitoes are often seen as nothing more than a nuisance — but do they actually have a purpose? In this conversation with Cassandra, we explore their role in ecosystems, from pollination to their place in the food chain and their function as decomposers in early life stages. It’s a simple and eye-opening look at how even the most disliked species can play a role in maintaining balance in nature. #videopodcast #sciencepodcast #beingascientist #mosquitoes #research
