it's quite possible that mosquitoes that don't require a male to procreate will take dominance. I think there are wasps like that...

True, species with heterogametic females (such as some reptiles) will revert to parthogenesis if no male is available. If mosquitoes are like that (are they?) then that could lead to all sorts of interesting consequences after a dedicated push to release infertile males.
