Does it appear that the mosquitoes will be able to survive in their state after climate change? If not what factor(s) will limit their spread?

The mosquitoes that carry diseases such as malaria and dengue fever have been moving north in recent Show more The mosquitoes that carry diseases such as malaria and dengue fever have been moving north in recent years. A group of ecologists wants to know if those mosquitoes will be able to survive and reproduce in their state under the climate conditions that are expected in the next 25 years. Factors that might limit the mosquitoes include temperature and competition from a native mosquito. The ecologists grow mosquito larvae in containers in the lab at current temperatures as well as the higher temperatures predicted for the future and with and without native mosquito competitors. Their data are graphed below. Does it appear that the mosquitoes will be able to survive in their state after climate change? If not what factor(s) will limit their spread? Explain your answers.
