One of the highest honours in the natural history world is to have a species named after you, often to honour your work. Some species are named after their characteristics \u2013 colours, size, behaviour, but some taxonomists name species after loved ones, some after fictional characters (such as the weevil Trigonopterus ewok, named after the Star Wars species in 2021<\/a>), and some species are named after celebrities (such as the millipede Nannaria swiftae, named after Taylor Swift in 2022<\/a>).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prolific taxonomists usually end up using in a combination of name sources, as they have so many species to describe and name.<\/p>\n

How many species have been named after David Attenborough?<\/p>\n

It will come as no surprise then that Sir David Attenborough<\/a>, the world’s most famous natural history presenter and conservationist, has numerous species named after him (over 50 to date). From a Madagascan dragonfly named as a present for his 90th birthday, to a tree with beautiful flowers, there’s a wide range of animals and plants now bearing the Attenborough name, with the scientists usually describing him as an inspiration and \u201ca childhood hero\u201d.<\/p>\n

In most cases, it is the specific name that’s derived from Attenborough’s. However for a few species – a colourful semislug in Australia, a flowering plant in Gabon and an extinct marine reptile – it is the genus name.<\/p>\n

Sir David Attenborough joined the palaeontologist and author Richard Fortey to discuss naming species and the importance of taxonomy in a talk for the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature at the Natural History Museum:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"A specimen of a female Attenborough’s black-eyed satyr butterfly (Euptychia attenboroughi). \u00a9 Andrew Neild<\/p>\n

This is the first butterfly to be named after Attenborough. Writing in the journal ZooKeys, the scientists said the naming was \u201cin gratitude for opening the eyes and hearts of millions to the natural world through his inspiring and edifying work\u201d.<\/p>\n

Six specimens were originally collected from a small area of forest along the borders of Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela to the north of the Amazon river. The similar E. Sophiae, described from the south of the river, was named after the niece of one of the scientists involved.<\/p>\n

Miniature orchid (Lepanthes attenboroughii)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This \u201ccharismatic miniature orchid species\u201d from Peru (and possibly Ecuador) was described by scientists in September 2022, although the species had actually been present in both private and public collections for many years. However, it had wrongly been identified as the closely related L. caprimulgus.<\/p>\n

The scientists says they dedicated the species to Sir David Attenborough because his \u201clife has been dedicated to educating and inspiring generations of naturalists and conservationists, and most recently been a vocal advocate with his fervent call to action in response to global climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n

This gecko species was named in 1985 by Wells and Wellington in the Australian Journal of Herpetology, but the species was later synonymised with the Ocellated velvet gecko (Oedura monilis). Despite the subsequent change, it remains the first example of a species being named after David Attenborough.<\/p>\n

It is found in Indonesia, and was found on the slopes of Mount Bawang in the West Kalimantan province at an elevation of 652 metres. <\/p>\n

The lead author of the paper, Alex Riedel, decided to name one of the new weevil species after Attenborough, as \u201cMe and my family liked to watch his documentaries, and I thought he deserved it for his great work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Echidnas are primitive, egg-laying mammals called monotremes. Covered in barbless, hollow spines, they are only found in Australia and New Guinea. Attenborough\u2019s long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus attenboroughi) is even more restricted in its range, and only one specimen has ever been found.<\/p>\n

According to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species<\/a>, it inhabits 20km2 of tropical forest around the Cyclops Mountains of Indonesian Papua. A Zoological Society of London EDGE of Existence<\/a> team that visited in 2007 did not see any but were told by locals that the species still survives.<\/p>\n

Reputedly large enough to catch rats (though this has never been observed), Attenborough\u2019s pitcher plant was only discovered in 2007 in a remote highland area of Palawan, one of the islands in the Philippines archipelago.<\/p>\n

Like all pitcher plants, it has a tube-like structure, the purpose of which is to catch animals that it then digests. The pitcher of Nepenthes attenboroughii can have a volume of up to 1.5 litres, and scientists have observed one that had trapped and subsequently digested a shrew.<\/p>\n

Five metres long, with a long thin neck, roundish body and flippers, Attenborosaurus conybeari was, in fact, originally classed within the better-known Plesiosaurus genus.<\/p>\n

It originates from the Early Jurassic period 200 million years ago and was discovered near Charmouth, Dorset, in the latter part of the 19th century. The species was renamed in 1993 after examination of the fossil remains showed it should be reclassified. Sir David was honoured because of his childhood passion for fossil-collecting.<\/p>\n

The original fossil was destroyed in 1940, when a bomb fell on Bristol Museum and Art Gallery<\/a> during the Second World War. The plaster cast of the skeleton at the Natural History Museum<\/a> in London (pictured above) is now the type specimen.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn recognition of his profoundly influential work on the public understanding of natural history and evolutionary biology, which, for more than six decades, has been inspiring young people of successive generations (including the first author) to pursue a career as a biologist and the general public to know and preserve the beautiful world in which we live. We paraphrase him: \u201cI did so because I know of no pleasure deeper than that which comes from contemplating the natural world and trying to understand it\u201d (Attenborough 2002).

It was originally described as Helicarion rubicundus in 1978, but was assigned its own genus in 2007.<\/p>\n

It is also sometimes known as the burgundy snail (though it shares this common name with another species, Helix pomatia). According to the Australian Museum in Sydney, whose scientists made the discovery: \u201cThe burgundy snail has not evolved into a full slug [because] it retains a fragile and transparent shell.\u201d<\/p>\n

Extinct marsupial (Microleo attenboroughi)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Microleo attenboroughi, an extinct kitten-sized predatory marsupial weighing little more than a bag of sugar, lived some 19 million years ago in north-west Queensland in Australia. Scientists say it inhabited the treetops of a lush rainforest, preying on birds, frogs, lizards and insects.<\/p>\n

Its fossilised remains \u2013 skull fragments and teeth \u2013 were discovered at Riversleigh, a World Heritage site famous for its fossils, which provides a record of 25 million years of Australian natural history and which Sir David championed throughout his career.<\/p>\n

Another species that hails from Australia and is the oldest animal to bear Sir David\u2019s name, is a bizarre fish, Materpiscis attenboroughi. It dates back an incredible 380 million years and is regarded as the first-known vertebrate to give birth to live young.<\/p>\n

The fossil shows the embryo and its umbilical cord and its scientific name translates as Attenborough\u2019s mother fish. The find was made at the Gogo site in Western Australia, and scientists wanted to honour the broadcaster because he drew attention to Gogo in Life on Earth.<\/p>\n

A 20-million-year-old species of pygmy grasshopper, this amazing specimen was discovered frozen in a piece of amber<\/a>, or fossilised tree sap, in the Dominican Republic more than 50 years ago. However, it was not properly studied, nor was it officially named until 2014.<\/p>\n

Electrotettix attenboroughi was an insect only the size of the thorn of a rose, but it is of great scientific interest because the species was on the point of evolving the loss of its wings. Sam Heads, of the University of Illinois, said he chose to honour Sir David in the naming because of the presenter\u2019s interest in amber and because he was a childhood hero.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"The staminate flower of Sirdavidia solannona. \u00a9 Couvreur and Sauquet.<\/p>\n

A second case of a genus name being named after Sir David Attenborough, this tree has pretty pink flowers and was discovered and collected by scientists near a road in Crystal Mountains National Park in Gabon. The morphology of the flowers \u201cis highly suggestive of a buzz pollination syndrome. If confirmed, this would be the first documentation of such a pollination syndrome in Magnoliidae and early-diverging angiosperms in general.\u201d<\/p>\n

In change from the other species and genus named after Attenborough, this genus’ name is derived from his title \u2018Sir\u2019 and first name \u2018David\u2019 to create \u2018Sirdavidia\u2019. The species name \u2018solannona\u2019 is derived from the flowers’ similarity to those of Solanum species \u2013 a diverse group of plants which includes potatoes, tomatoes, aubergines, and nightshades.<\/p>\n

Currently, the genus is monotypic, meaning that there is only one species in it.<\/p>\n

In a\u00a02015 interview<\/a>\u00a0with\u00a0The Washington Post, Attenborough said that this was his favourite out of all his eponymous organisms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The original remains were discovered in Dorset in 1880 and described in 1881. This original specimen was kept at the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery, where it stayed until it was destroyed during World War II. Before the war, a cast had been made by William Johnson Sollas and sent to the Natural History Museum in London.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After studies were done on the plaster casts made after the remains,\u00a0Plesiosaurus conybeari\u00a0was assigned to a new genus, the aforementioned Attenborosaurus, by Robert T. Bakker in 1993.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A parasitic fungus which attacks spiders, first discovered in 2021 during the BBC\u00a0Winterwatch\u00a0TV series, where a specimen was found at Castle Espie in Northern Ireland. Images sent to researchers suggested it was a novel species.<\/p>\n

What is perhaps even more interesting is that the cave-spider host (the orb-weaving spider,\u00a0Metellina merianae) had moved to a more open (and therefore exposed) area before dying, making it easier for the fungal spores to spread.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the\u00a0paper<\/a>\u00a0describing the discovery of the species, it\u2019s said: \u201cNamed after the broadcaster and natural historian Sir David Attenborough, a pioneer of BBC natural history programmes, who \u2013 in his role as controller of BBC2 \u2013 helped to develop the Natural History Unit; leading, indirectly, to the present nature series during which the new species was first discovered.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

This was the second living species from the UK to be named after Attenborough. The first one was Attenborough\u2019s Hawkweed (Hieracium attenboroughianum)\u00a0described in 2015.<\/p>\n
