Elliot Johnston

Elliot is a community ecologist who is interested in wildlife-habitat relationships and species interactions, and, ultimately, how this information can shape effective conservation actions. He completed his PhD in Ecology and Environmental Science at the University of Maine in 2023, and he is excited to continue developing coastal research projects at Maine Natural History Observatory. During graduate school, his research included examining the effects of commercial seaweed harvest on intertidal birds, describing the winter diet of Purple Sandpipers, and examining the foraging ecology of a subalpine amphibian population. Elliot resides in Bangor, Maine and is an avid trail runner and sea kayaker.
