Robert Earl Richardson, stylized as R. E. Richardson in taxonomic usage, (Nov 28, 1877 - Apr 14, 1935) was an American ichthyologist who coauthored the book Fishes of Illinois with Stephen Alfred Forbes, a major contribution to the North American ichthyological regional reference literature.[1] He earned a Masters degree from the University of Illinois and was elected a fellow in Zoology.[2] He co-discovered many fish and shark species, as well as the genera Bambradon, Dactyloptena, Rogadius, Sacura, and Vespicula and the family Sinipercidae.[3]
In his role as Superintendent of the Illinois River Field Station, Richardson worked with Forbes on foundational issues in ecology, as well as political issues such as the Chicago's disposition of sewage.[4] Richardson would go on to make foundational contributions to the study of pollution in waterways.[2][5]
