== Leben ==
Thomas C. Jerdon wurde nach seinem Studium in [[Edinburgh]] Assistenzarzt der [[Britische Ostindien-Kompanie|britischen Ostindien-Kompanie]] und später zum Stabsarzt des Regiments [[Madras]] befördert.

== Dedikationsnamen ==
[[Francis Day]] (1829–1889) ehrte Jerdon, den Entdecker dieser neuen Fischart, im Jahr 1873 im [[Epitheton|Artepitheton]] für eine zur Familie der ''[[Erethistidae]]'' gehörende Art namens ''[[Hara jerdoni]]'' (Syn. Pomacentrus jerdoni oder Erethistes jerdoni).<ref name="day238">Francis Day, S. 238</ref>

Im Jahr 1842 zollte ihm [[Edward Blyth]] (1810–1873) im Namen der [[Hinduweih]] (''Aviceda jerdoni'') Tribut und würdigte ihn als einen Naturforscher, der mit seinen ornithologischen Forschungsstudien viel zur Zoologie Indiens beigetragen hat.<ref name="blyth464">Edward Blyth (1842), S. 464</ref>

== Erstbeschreibungen von Thomas Caverhill Jerdon ==
Thomas Caverhill Jerdon hat einige [[Art (Biologie)|Arten]] und Unterarten als Erstautor beschrieben. Hin und wieder findet man ihn in der Literatur als Mitautor für die Gattung ''Tickellia'' <span class="Person">Blyth</span>, 1861,<ref name="blyth199">Edward Blyth (1861), S. 199</ref> die Blyth für die monotypische Art des [[Breitschnabel-Laubsänger]] (''Tickellia hodgsoni'') ([[Frederic Moore|Moore, F]], 1854) schuf, für den [[Rostbauch-Kurzflügel]] (''Brachypteryx hyperythra'') <span class="Person">Blyth</span>, 1861<ref name="blyth201">Edward Blyth (1861), S. 201</ref> und für eine Unterart des [[Bergschneidervogel]]s (''Orthotomus cucullatus coronatus'') <span class="Person">Blyth</span>, 1861<ref name="blyth200">Edward Blyth (1861), S. 200</ref>. Da Blyth den Artikel in ''Proceedings of the Scientific Meetings of the Zoological Society of London'' publiziert hat, gilt dieser laut den [[Internationale Regeln für die Zoologische Nomenklatur|Internationalen Nomenklaturregeln]] als alleiniger Erstautor, obwohl alle beschriebenen Gattungen und Arten Jerdons Namen als Zusatz haben und Jerdon die ursprünglichen Notizen zum Artikel lieferte.
