Etymology
We name Myrmoderus eowilsoni in honor of Dr. Edward Osborne Wilson to recognize his tremendous devotion to conservation and his patronage of the Rainforest Trust, which strives to protect the most imperiled species and habitats in the Neotropics and across the globe. ...

In today's Key we find the following:
eowilsoni
Prof. Edward Osborne Wilson (b. 1929) US sociobiologist, myrmecologist, conservationist, Pulitzer Prize winner 1979, 1991 (Myrmoderus).
