Louise Tosetto is a Research Fellow at Macquarie University's School of Natural Sciences and affiliated with the Macquarie University Marine Research Centre. Her work focuses on marine ecology, animal behavior, and sensory ecology, particularly in coastal and coral reef ecosystems.

• Current projects include studying lightscapes for urban ecosystems and drone-based shark/ray monitoring
• Research interests span coloration mechanisms in marine species, eco-engineering, and human-induced ecological impacts

Her recent publications analyze:

• Substrate coloration in marine constructions
• Visual systems of sharks and rays
• Drones for habitat tracking
• Color signaling in bluelined goatfish
• Microplastic ecological impacts
• Flatworm distribution patterns

She collaborates with researchers like Nathan Hart, Luke Ryan, and Jane Williamson on interdisciplinary marine conservation initiatives.
