Elizabeth L. Jockusch is an American evolutionary biologist who studies plethodontidae salamanders and other organisms. While working with David Wake and others, she has identified multiple new species of Batrachoseps salamanders.[1][2] She works as a professor and lab director of the Jockusch Lab in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Connecticut.[3][4]

In 2014, she was elected to the council of the Society of Systematic Biologists for a three-year term.[5]
