Jean Louis Cabanis (8 March 1816 – 20 February 1906) was a German
Journal für Ornithologie
in 1853.
Biography
Cabanis was born in
Journal für Ornithologie in 1853, editing it for the next forty-one years, when he was succeeded by his son-in-law Anton Reichenow.[1][2][3] Cabanis considered the journal Naumannia, the official organ of the Deutsche Ornithologen-Gesellschaft, edited by Eduard Baldamus, as too narrow in its geographic scope and its German centricity.[4]
Cabanis married Jeanne daughter of Ambrosius Rinaldi in Berlin in 1849. They had six sons and three daughters. He died in Friedrichshagen.
A number of birds are named after him, including Cabanis's bunting Emberiza cabanisi, Cabanis's spinetail Synallaxis cabanisi, Azure-rumped tanager Poecilostreptus cabanisi and Cabanis's greenbul Phyllastrephus cabanisi.
