Career

Deppe was baptized on November 8, 1795 in the French Church in Berlin. His father Ferdinand Erneste Pierre Deppe, who was a trader, came from Leistenau in West Prussia . His mother Magdelaine Fréderique geb. Houfselle came from Königsberg .

It was also the 1830 price list for mammals, birds, amphibians, fish and crabs, which were collected by Messrs. Deppe and Schiede in Mexico, and from the authorized representative in Berlin against cash payment in Preuss. Courant to receive are published. This work also contained some species of birds that were new to science, such as B. the mourning starling .

When Jakob Wilhelm Karl von Witzleben died in 1837, Ferdinand Deppe bought his property, which bordered the Lietzensee . In honor of the deceased he named it Witzleben , a name that still adorns an S-Bahn station in Berlin-Charlottenburg .

Expeditions

Expedition participant

The expedition to Central America consisted of Baron Sebastian Albert von Sack , initiator and financier of the expedition and (sponsor of Wilhelm Müller among others ), his servant (who died of yellow fever after arriving in Central America ), the employee of the Zoological Museum Berlin Häberlein , who traveled to Colombia beforehand , and Deppe . Baron von Sack intended to stay in Mexico (City) until October 1825 and from there to explore Guatemala , Nicaragua (Cartegena) and from the first quarter of 1826 Colombia, Chile and Peru .

Expedition to Mexico

Deppe, who took part on the initiative of the financier of the expedition, Baron von Sack, set out from England via Jamaica to Mexico in October 1824 and arrived in Alvarado , (Mexico) in mid-November 1824 . Deppe's research trip began in mid-December 1824 and ended with the bulk of the collection being shipped to Germany and his departure from Mexico in March / April 1827 and his onward journey to California . Deppe wrote travel reports, the last of which reached Martin Lichtenstein in Berlin in January 1827 .

From 1828 up to and including 1830, he and Christian Julius Wilhelm Schiede explored the state of Veracruz , among others , as both intended to trade with the finds. Diederich Franz Leonhard von Schlechtendal described plants from their collections. Shortly before the end of the expedition, between September 1st and 3rd, 1826, between Tehuacán and Teotepec, he discovered unknown species of nightshade and cacti .

Parts of his collection were sent to the Zoological Museum in Berlin and processed there.

In 1828 Deppe also made a sketch of the San Gabriel Mission ( California ), which he converted into an oil painting on canvas in 1832 . It is the first painting created by numerous Californian missions and is now in the holdings of the Santa Barbara Mission Archive Library .

Expedition to California

Its collection of basket work by the Indians living in California, which was compiled in 1836 and is located in the Ethnological Museum in Berlin-Dahlem, is of international importance .

Expedition to Hawaii

In 1837 Deppe collected three specimens of the Krausschwanzmoho in the hills on the island of Oahu , the last evidence of the bird scientifically described by John Gould in 1860 .

collection

The collection pieces collected by the expedition are in the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin and were acquired early on. a. Spotted by William Swainson , Johann Georg Wagler , Charles Lucien Bonaparte , John Gould , Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach , Hermann Schlegel and Philip Lutley Sclater . His herbarium went to the Smithsonian Institution after his death .

Dedication names

Birds

In 1934 Adriaan Joseph van Rossem named a subspecies of the blue gnat catcher ( Polioptila caerulea deppei ) after Deppe. Lionel Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild, used Psittirostra psittacea deppei in 1905 , a name that is now synonymous with the nominate form of the yellow-headed honeydew bird . The name Tringa Deppii his brother in his price-directory used today is synonymous with the Baird's Sandpiper ( Calidris bairdii ) ( Coues , 1861).

Reptiles

In 1828 Arend Friedrich August Wiegmann named tree crawling species Abronia deppii and in 1834 a rail lizard species Aspidoscelis deppii . André Marie Constant Duméril dedicated to him in 1853 to the authentics snakes belonging kind Pituophis deppei , 1883 Marie Firmin Bocourt which belongs also to the authentics snakes Art Tantilla deppei .

Mammals

In 1863, the then director of the Berlin Museum, Wilhelm Peters, described, among other things, the Deppe's croissant ( Sciurus deppei ).

fishes

Johann Jakob Heckel named a Herichthysart Herichthys deppii in 1840 .

plants

Two types of plants are associated with his name. This is how Diederich Franz Leonhard von Schlechtendal and Adelbert von Chamisso named a genus of the red family Deppea in 1830 . In the following article they named a male litter Eryngium deppeanum . In 2012 split Attila Lajos Borhidi and Szilvia Stranczinger then from Deppea some species, and named the new genus Deppeopsis .

In 1841 Ernst Gottlieb von Steudel named the alligator juniper ( Juniperus deppeana ), and Tillandsia deppeana a synonym for the Vriesea species Vriesea rubra after him. In 1828 George Loddiges named the lucky clover Oxalis deppei and in 1830 the orchid species Lycaste deppei . This also provided the tables for the description. In 1860, Pierre Edmond Boissier named a milkweed species Euphorbia deppeana . Acalypha deppeana, a name von Schlechtendal used in 1832, is now considered a synonym for Acalypha schiedeana from the milkweed family. The species Vittaria deppeana , named by Karl Johann August Müller in 1854, is now a synonym for Vittaria lineata . Christian Friedrich Lessing named Vernonia deppeana in 1832 , a synonym for the sham asterisk species Vernonia patens . Michel Félix Dunal named a species belonging to the nightshade family Solanum deppei in 1852 . Joseph zu Salm-Reifferscheidt-Dyck named a Cereus species Cereus deppei in 1834 . In 1854 Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck named a species of sweet grass Arundinella deppeana .
