title="Zoologia">zoologo</a> <a href="/wiki/Regno_Unito" title="Regno Unito">britannico</a>, originario di <a href="/wiki/Durham" title="Durham">Durham</a>. </p><p>Studiò <a href="/wiki/Medicina" title="Medicina">medicina</a> all'<a href="/wiki/Universit%C3%A0_di_Edimburgo" title="Università di Edimburgo">Università di Edimburgo</a> e dopo la laurea si trasferì in <a href="/wiki/India" title="India">India</a>, dove divenne assistente-chirurgo per la <a href="/wiki/Compagnia_britannica_delle_Indie_orientali" title="Compagnia britannica delle Indie orientali">Compagnia britannica delle Indie orientali</a>, e in seguito capo-chirurgo del reggimento di <a href="/wiki/Chennai" title="Chennai">Madras</a>. </p><p>Subito dopo il suo arrivo in India, Jerdon iniziò a collezionare esemplari di <a href="/wiki/Uccelli" class="mw-redirect" title="Uccelli">uccelli</a>, che in seguito spedì a <a href="/wiki/William_Jardine" title="William Jardine">William Jardine</a> (1800-1874) perché li identificasse. Questa collezione, però, era così infestata e danneggiata dagli <a href="/wiki/Insetti" class="mw-redirect" title="Insetti">insetti</a> che Jardine si rifiutò di accoglierla, per paura che contaminasse anche le sue collezioni. </p><p>Jerdon, allora, decise di catalogare e classificare la propria collezione da solo. Il suo lavoro, <i>A Catalogue of the Birds of the Indian Peninsula</i> (1839-1840), venne pubblicato all'interno della rivista <i>Madras Journal of Literature and Science</i>. In quest'opera egli descrisse 420 <a href="/wiki/Specie" title="Specie">specie</a> di uccelli, circa il doppio di quelli descritti da William Henry Sykes (1790-1872). </p><p>La più famosa opera di Jerdon, tuttavia, è <i>The Birds of India</i> (1862-1864), nella quale vengono descritte più di 1000 specie avicole. Fu anche un valente illustratore e i suoi disegni comparvero su varie opere di storia naturale, come <i>Illustrations of Indian Ornithology</i> (1844), <i>The Game Birds and Wildfowl of India</i> (1864) e <i>Mammals of India</i> (1874). </p><p>Sebbene il principale oggetto di studio di Jerdon fossero gli <a href="/wiki/Uccelli" class="mw-redirect" title="Uccelli">uccelli</a>, egli si interessò anche di vegetali, <a href="/wiki/Formicidae" title="Formicidae">formiche</a>, <a href="/wiki/Anfibi" class="mw-redirect" title="Anfibi">anfibi</a>, <a href="/wiki/Rettili" class="mw-redirect" title="Rettili">rettili</a> e <a href="/wiki/Mammiferi" class="mw-redirect" title="Mammiferi">mammiferi</a>. Istituì la collana <i>Fauna of British India</i>. </p><p>Il suo nome viene commemorato da varie specie, come il corrione di Jerdon (<i><a href="/wiki/Rhinoptilus_bitorquatus" title="Rhinoptilus bitorquatus">Rhinoptilus bitorquatus</a></i>), un rarissimo <a href="/wiki/Charadriiformes" title="Charadriiformes">caradriiforme</a> <a href="/wiki/Endemismo" title="Endemismo">endemico</a> dei <a
