Pedro Neto-Peres

Dr. Pedro Neto-Peres is Professor and Canada Research Chair in Spatial Ecology and Biodiversity at Concordia University's Department of Biology. Leads research on biodiversity controls across spatial scales.

Research integrates field surveys, theoretical models, and quantitative approaches to understand species distribution patterns. Focuses on evolutionary-abiotic-biotic interactions, environmental spatial structure impacts on communities, and developing frameworks linking mechanisms to biodiversity patterns.

Current work examines regional to global biodiversity controls, species coexistence mechanisms, and novel ecological/evolutionary theories. Employs large-scale data analytics and ecological informatics approaches.

As Canada Research Chair, develops predictive models for conservation applications and ecosystem management.
