Bruno Soares

Dr. Bruno Soares is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Regina and a Quantitative Ecologist at the Institute for Environmental Change and Society. His research examines patterns and mechanisms structuring freshwater communities, with emphasis on Neotropical fish assemblages and aquatic food webs.

Research areas include:

• Functional trait variations in aquatic organisms
• Community structure and composition patterns
• Global food web and phylogenetic diversity
• Tools for ecological data synthesis

Dr. Soares investigates how evolutionary history and environmental changes influence species traits in Neotropical aquatic ecosystems. His interdisciplinary approach combines field studies with quantitative methods to understand community dynamics across spatial and temporal scales. Current work focuses on developing analytical tools for large-scale ecological data integration.
