* The Trumpet Manucode, a bird of paradise found in New Guinea, was given the scientific name "Manucodia keraudrenii" by René-Primevère Lesson and Prosper Garnot in 1826.
* He also appears to be the person after whom the gastropods "Oxygyrus keraudrenii" (Charles-Alexandre Lesueur, 1817) and "Pterotrachea keraudrenii" (Fortune Eydoux and Louis François Auguste Souleyet, 1832) were named.
