Dr. Bruno A. Buzatto

Senior Lecturer at Flinders University

I am an evolutionary biologist fascinated by behavioural ecology and sexual selection, and my research has mostly focused on insects and arachnids. I also have a great interest on the evolution of alternative reproductive tactics, male dimorphism and the evolution of phenotypic plasticity. I am a senior lecturer at Flinders University, and hold a research adjunct position at the Western Australian Museum. I also worked as an environmental consultant for a company called Bennelongia Environmental Consultants (2020-2021) in WA, where I became very interested in subterranean fauna and short-range endemic invertebrates, and I am now steering my research towards groups of terrestrial invertebrates of conservation concern, like mygalomorph spiders and burrowing scorpions.
