Rooted in the oak forests of southwestern Iberia, my work began with botanical studies of local flora and vegetation. These first steps grew into a broader natural history and ecological exploration, tracing the evolutionary and biogeographical paths of Mediterranean oaks. Through this journey, I connect taxonomy, ecology, and evolution to understand and preserve the living heritage of Mediterranean Oak forests.
This seminar will be hosted by João Neiva.
About the Speaker
Carlos Vila-Viçosa
Geobotanist and Principal Investigator at BIOPOLIS-CIBIO, University of Porto, researching Mediterranean oak (Quercus) forests. His work integrates taxonomy, ecology, niche modelling, and genomic data to explore their evolution, biogeography, and how climate change will shape their future conservation.
The seminar is free, but registration is mandatory.
