Sir David Attenborough in 2015

This is a list of things named after English broadcaster, biologist, natural historian and author Sir David Attenborough, and his audiovisual works.

Ships[edit]

Taxonomy[edit]

David Attenborough's long trajectory working on nature documentaries and supporting conservation initiatives has made him an inspiration and a popular choice among naturalists to honour him with eponyms when naming newly described organisms.[2] Attenborough himself has said that this is the "biggest of compliments that you could ask from any scientific community."[3]

As of 2022, there are more than 45 taxa (genera and species) of organisms that have been named after David Attenborough. Additionally, there is at least one species named after one of his documentary series.

This list presents the scientific names as originally given (their basionyms). By default, they are shown in the chronological order in which they were published. They can also be ordered alphabetically by genus or by type of organism.

Taxon Type Notes Taxon image Ref
Oedura attenboroughi Wells & Wellington, 1985 Lizard This name for an Australian gecko was published in one of the papers involved in the Wells and Wellington affair.

Nevertheless, it remains the first instance of an organism being scientifically named after David Attenborough. [4][5]
