About Katherine Dafforn

Katherine Dafforn, With an exceptional h-index of 38 and a recent h-index of 32 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Macquarie University, specializes in the field of invasion ecology, artificial structures, ecotoxicology, soft sediments.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Impacts of necrotising disease on the Endangered cauliflower soft coral (Dendronephthya australis)

Influence of habitat features on the colonisation of native and non-indigenous species

Variable effects of substrate colour and microtexture on sessile marine taxa in Australian estuaries

Coastal greening of grey infrastructure: an update on the state-of-the-art

Assessing the ecological impacts of NORM-contaminated scale on marine infauna using sediment microcosms

Contaminant pulse following wildfire is associated with shifts in estuarine benthic communities

Physical and biogenic complexity mediates ecosystem functions in urban sessile marine communities

Urban shading and artificial light at night alter natural light regimes and affect marine intertidal assemblages
