About

Professor Margarida Matos is a Full Professor at Universidade de Lisboa (UL) - Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa in Portugal. Her research interests encompass evolutionary biology, particularly the evolution and plasticity of gene expression in response to environmental changes. Recent articles highlight her work on thermal adaptation, the effects of climate on behavior and fertility, and the role of microbes in life history evolution. She actively contributes to understanding the implications of evolutionary processes in a warming world.
