Abstract

The benefits of wetlands are now widely appreciated. Less widely known is that historically many wetlands were drained to help control malaria and other deadly diseases. This essay's general theme is that there are pros and cons to restoration or creation of wetlands. The specific theme is that mosquitoes pose practical and theoretical problems. In particular, abundant mosquitoes should not be regarded as an after‐the‐fact surprising side effect but rather, abundant mosquitoes should be viewed as a primary and foreseeable effect of providing habitat suitable for them. Yet our funding mechanisms and educational institutions often fail properly to address the reality that restoring or creating wetlands has a downside.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • There is often a lack of information on wetlands ecology and management in the mosquito control literature, and information on mosquitoes, mosquito-borne pathogens, and mosquito control technology is also lacking in the wetlands, conservation, restoration, and wetlands/water management literature.

    “There is often a lack of information on wetlands ecology and management in the mosquito control literature, but the opposite is also true; information on mosquitoes, mosquito-borne pathogens, and mosquito control technology is also lacking in the wetlands, conservation, restoration, and wetlands/water management literature [12].”

  • Mosquito production is not often taken into consideration during the design phase of constructed wetlands.

    “but mosquito production is not often taken into consideration during the design phase of these wetlands [12].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
