William Blaney Richardson (19 March 1868, Boston, Massachusetts – 1 December 1927, Matagalpa, Nicaragua) was an American-Nicaraguan naturalist and professional collector of zoological specimens.〔 The two mammalian species names for Richardson's mountain rat and Richardson's shrew mouse are associated with the mammalogist William Bebb Richardson.〕 As a young man, Richardson was employed by Charles B. Cory to collect bird specimens in the West Indies.〔 While collecting specimens in Mexico, Richardson married the Mexican citizen Rosaura Ojeda. When he and his wife moved to Nicaragua, he changed his middle name from "Blaney" to "Blaine".〔(RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project: Gary Allen Richardson Ancestry )〕 In southwestern Colombia from November 1910 to July 1911 and from August 1912 to October 1912, Richardson collected many mammalian specimens.〔(List of Mammals Collected in Colombia by the American Museum of Natural History Expeditions, 1910–1915 by J. A. Allen )〕 One of his daughters married Francisco Navarro, Vice President of Nicaragua from 1937 to 1939, and one of grandsons, Bill Richardson, was Governor of New Mexico from 2003 to 2011. ==Associated eponyms for William Bebb Richardson (who is apparently unrelated to William Blaney Richardson)== *''Microhydromys richardsoni'' – Northern groove-toothed shrew mouse (or Richardson's shrew mouse)〔 *''Rattus richardsoni'' – Glacier rat (or Richardson's mountain rat)〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Blaney Richardson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
