I am a master student from the Conservation Biology MSc at FCUL. I am now carrying out my thesis "What is the impact of climate change on the interaction between crops and their pests?" in the MITE2 lab under the supervision of Leonor Rodrigues. This study aims to determine the effects of adaptation to a new host plant and high temperatures by the spider mite Tetranychus cinnabarinus.
