Andreia Malpica is a Mexican ornithologist and conservation biologist whose work explores the evolutionary processes shaping phenotypic and genetic diversity in birds across different geographic scales. Her research integrates genomic tools, environmental data, and landscape analyses to understand how human-driven changes to the Tropical Dry Forest—along with climate change—affect populations and species. Through this approach, she aims to generate knowledge that can directly inform biodiversity conservation. Malpica earned her Ph.D. from the Universidad Michoacana and her M.Sc. from the Instituto de Ecología, both in Mexico.
