I encourage those wondering about why we endorsed removing all eponyms, including eponyms honoring people who made important contributions to ornithology, to read our justification for that particular recommendation here: here: https://americanornithology.org/about/english-bird-names-project/english-bird-names-committee-recommendations/#justification Apologies if I'm duplicating anyone else's response. I receive the digest and so am not reading messages in real time.
