List of organisms named after famous people (born 1900–1949)

Last updated

In biological nomenclature, organisms often receive scientific names that honor a person. A taxon (e.g., species or genus; plural: taxa) named in honor of another entity is an eponymous taxon, and names specifically honoring a person or persons are known as patronyms. Scientific names are generally formally published in peer-reviewed journal articles or larger monographs along with descriptions of the named taxa and ways to distinguish them from other taxa. Following rules of Latin grammar, species or subspecies names derived from a man's name often end in -i or -ii if named for an individual, and -orum if named for a group of men or mixed-sex group, such as a family. Similarly, those named for a woman often end in -ae, or -arum for two or more women.

Contents

This list is part of the List of organisms named after famous people , and includes organisms named after famous individuals born between 1 January 1900 and 31 December 1949. It also includes ensembles (including bands and comedy troupes) in which at least one member was born within those dates; but excludes companies, institutions, ethnic groups or nationalities, and populated places. It does not include organisms named for fictional entities, for biologists, paleontologists or other natural scientists, [note 1] nor for associates or family members of researchers who are not otherwise notable; exceptions are made, however, for natural scientists who are much more famous for other aspects of their lives, such as, for example, Japanese emperors Hirohito and Akihito.

Sir David Attenborough was formerly included in this section of the list as one of these exceptions, since despite his formal training as a natural scientist, he is more widely known to the public as a documentary filmmaker. However, due to the high number of taxa named after him (over 50 as of 2022), he has been removed; his patronyms can be found in the List of things named after David Attenborough and his works.

Organisms named after famous people born earlier than 1900 can be found in:

Organisms named after famous people born later than 1949 can be found in:

The scientific names are given as originally described (their basionyms): subsequent research may have placed species in different genera, or rendered them taxonomic synonyms of previously described taxa. Some of these names are unavailable in the zoological sense or illegitimate in the botanical sense due to senior homonyms already having the same name.

Agathidium bushi Miller & Wheeler, 2005 Beetle George W. Bush This beetle was named by Quentin D. Wheeler, and President Bush was pleased with the gesture, even calling Wheeler to thank him for the honor. Because of the problematic public image of Bush and his cabinet, and the fact that this is a slime-mold beetle which feeds on decaying fungi, some interpreted the naming to be intended as an insult; however, Wheeler clarified that this species, as well as A. cheneyi and A. rumsfeldi, were meant as homages: "We admire these leaders as fellow citizens who have the courage of their convictions and are willing to do the very difficult and unpopular work of living up to principles of freedom and democracy rather than accepting the expedient or popular". Co-author Kelly Miller said "We intended the names to be honorific... We were two conservatives in academia working together (which is not common). It was early in the Iraq war period, and we were both in favor of intervention there... And finally, we love our beetles! We wouldn't name a new species after someone we didn't like. [In interviews,] we compared it to the Lewis and Clark expedition naming the three forks of the Missouri after Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin (President, Vice President, and Secretary of the Treasury [at the time])."

Although Updike published sparingly on Neotropical beetles (1963), his use of metaphors, widely admired by critics, recommends this honor because, in a sense, a species which mimics another is a kind of metaphor for the mimicked species and benefits by being confused for its model by uncritical predators."

Cleese said: "I was really touched, and indeed, honoured when Urs Thalmann told me they would like to name the lemur after me. I'm absurdly fond of the little creatures, and if I had to show any of my programmes to St Peter, upon my arrival at the Pearly Gates, I think I would show him my documentary made about them in Madagascar. I help with conservation a bit, here and there, and so will re-double my efforts for our furry friends."

Daviesia schwarzenegger Crisp & L.G.Cook Legume Arnold Schwarzenegger A species of bitter pea from Australia. "Surprisingly, DNA sequence data showed D. benthamii subsp. humilis to comprise two cryptic species that are more closely related to other species than to D. benthamii [...]. As they are unexpected and unlikely 'twins', we have named them after the actors who played an unlikely pair of twins in the eponymous Hollywood movie: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. We have named this species after Schwarzenegger because he is much more robust than his twin: 'The embryo did split in two, but it didn't split equally. All the purity and strength went into Julius [Schwarzenegger's character]'. This difference between the actors parallels the growth habit difference between the two Daviesia species. We also wish to honour Arnold Schwarzenegger's leadership (as governor of California) in pioneering the reduction of carbon emissions, and for advising the Australian government to do the same."

He later stated that he thought it was a plastic toy.
When calling, this new Dendropsophus species can be vaguely associated with the high pitch sounds emitted by some bat species that are hearable to the human ear. When we heard this species in the field we immediately pictured a calling bat. Because of this "bat association" we take the opportunity to name this species after one of the biggest music legends of all time".

Ilomantis ginsburgae Brannoch & Svenson, 2016 Mantis Ruth Bader Ginsburg The scientists who described this species pioneered a new method of identification; whereas the study of male genitals is typically used to classify insect species, they instead examined the female genitalia to establish the new species.

Bolin, the ichthyologist who described this species, was a friend of John Steinbeck (a serious amateur naturalist himself, who enjoyed studying the aquatic life of Monterey Bay and the Gulf of California). He received a signed first edition of one of Steinbeck's novels, and, touched by the gesture, decided to name a newly-discovered species of lanternfish after Steinbeck to honor him in return. However, soon afterwards, Steinbeck asked for the book back (for unknown reasons) and never returned it. Later, Bolin stated that he spent a great deal of time thereafter trying to synonymise L. steinbecki with any other species (thus invalidating the name), but did not succeed.

The 'they' recognizes non-binary gender identifiers in order to reflect recent evolution in English pronoun use - 'they, them, their' and address a more inclusive and expansive understanding of non-neutral gender identification. Strumigenys ayersthey sp. nov. is thus inclusively named in honor of Jeremy Ayers for the multitude of humans among the spectrum of gender who have been unrepresented under traditional naming practices. Jeremy was a multifaceted and beloved Athens-based (GA, USA) artist and activist whose humanity and achievements defied the limits of categorized classification. Jeremy brought an intellectual and playful, Pan-like curiosity to every aspect of his life. He was a writer, philosopher, painter, musician, activist, photographer, gardener, and exploder of boundaries who transformed the culture that surrounded him. His deep appreciation of the variety and minute details of the natural world astounded all who knew him. In the spirit of Jeremy, we also propose that the -they suffix can be used for singular honorific names of non-binary identifiers in compliance with the ICZN."

Zimmerius chicomendesi Whitney, Schunck, Rêgo & Silveira2, 2013 Bird Chico Mendes "Francisco "Chico" Alves Mendes Filho (1944-1988) was a man wise beyond the borders of his time and space. He learned to use the Amazon rainforest by living in it and understood the fundamental importance of preservation of natural resources as well as the dire socio-economic consequences of their destruction – and [...] [he] was able to make that knowledge count in the international arena. We have no doubt that Mendes and his message, during the last few years of his short life, did more to educate such agencies as the Inter-American Development Bank to more wisely distribute funding toward sustainable uses in Amazonia than has any other individual. If Mendes were alive today, we cannot help but imagine that Brazil would be far ahead of where it is in the development of a truly sustainable Amazonia in reasonable harmony with indigenous peoples and colonists. In bringing this obscure little bird to the light of science, we call up the spirit of Chico Mendes to help us all get it right."
