My guess is that would be the cause. Since you do not have a common
(in a typical citation style of last_name, first and first_name
last_name and first_name last_name), I believe it would treat "Rana A.
Find AND Frank J." as the first name and Millero as the last name.
Also, this isn't a lyx issue. You are probably using biber and biber
processes bib files a bit differently.

I’m somewhat puzzled by the way bibliography references appear
in LyX. I use JabRef for handling BibTeX files, to define
labels to references, etc. Here is one example:
(taken from LyX; “Fine1975” is my chosen label – actually,
automatically defined by BibTeX...)
HOWEVER, in the LyX document, this reference appears as:

Why? Here is the full reference (from LyX):
As seen, JabRef creates a key based on the first author, while
LyX tends to insert the last author name in the preview.
But.... WHY? To me, it seems more logical to use the name
appearing in the lable – that would make it easier to read the
preview and check the author/reference.
OK – I **realize** that the label doesn’t necessarily have to
be an author name. But in my experience, the **first** author
is often the principal author, and perhaps he/she should be
given credit for that in the preview... (The last author is
often a supervisor and corresponding author, though).
What is the thinking behind this?
Thanks for clarification. Useful to know the answer, because
it may influence my choice of label...

I can check this, but the bibliography list itself looks fine...

I just tried it out in Jabref. Inserting AND (instead of and) does not
make a difference. So the cause must be something else. Wolfgang
