杰勒德·克雷夫特

杰勒德·克雷夫特（1830年2月17日 - 1881年2月18日）是一位澳大利亚自然历史學家，1861年至1874年期間擔任澳洲博物館馆长。According to Davidson (2017, p. 15) Krefft was "one of [the Museum's] most accomplished curators". 克雷夫特支持达尔文的物种起源论，而且他當時就發現入侵物种會对澳大利亞本地物种造成毁灭性打擊。See for instance, Krefft's observations (1862, p. 12) within his 1862 description of the Eastern Chæropus (Chæropus occidentalis):

"This singular animal which Sir Thomas Mitchell first discovered in his expedition to the Darling, June 16, 1836, is still found on the plains of the Murray; though it is exceedingly rare, and is disappearing as fast as the native population. The large flocks of sheep and herds of cattle occupying the country will soon disperse those individuals which are still to be found in the so-called settled districts, and it will become more and more difficult to procure specimens for our national collection."See also Krefft (1874).
