Eriophyidae
Eriophyidae, gall mites, are the largest family of eriophyoid mites: about 200 µm long, four-legged, plant-feeding pests that induce galls, with roughly 3,790 described species and high host specificity.
Eriophyoidea
Eriophyoidea, gall mites or four-legged mites, is a superfamily of tiny (about 200 μm) worm-like plant-feeding acariform mites with two pairs of legs, over 5000 species in three families, major crop pests and virus vectors, likely sister to Nematalycidae.
Eriosyce curvispina
Eriosyce curvispina, also placed as Neoporteria or Horridocactus curvispinus, is a globular cactus endemic to central Chile. A 2024 molecular revision split the broad species complex into nine endemic species and assessed E. curvispina as Vulnerable.
Eristalinae
Eristalinae is the largest subfamily of hoverflies (Syrphidae), with nine tribes including Eristalini and Milesiini; known for rat-tailed maggots and bee or wasp mimicry, but molecular data show it is paraphyletic.
Eristalis
Eristalis (drone flies) is a genus of about 100 Holarctic hoverflies (Syrphidae) whose larvae are rat-tailed maggots; Eristalis tenax, the drone fly, is a honeybee-mimicking pollinator now reared commercially.
Eristalis tenax
Eristalis tenax, the drone fly (larva: rat-tailed maggot), is a hover fly that mimics the honey bee; its aquatic larva breathes through a siphon up to 15 cm long and lives in sewage-rich water.
Erithacus
Erithacus is a genus of Muscicapidae songbirds erected by Cuvier in 1800, holding the European Robin (E. rubecula) and, in ITIS, the Japanese and Ryukyu Robins; a 2022 study split Canary Islands robins into E. superbus and E. marionae.
Eritoran
Eritoran (E5564) is a synthetic lipid A analog and TLR4 antagonist that binds the MD-2 hydrophobic pocket; developed by Eisai for severe sepsis, it was safe but failed to reduce mortality in phase 2 and phase 3 ACCESS trials.
Erkki Ruoslahti
Erkki Ruoslahti, born 1940 in Imatra, Finland, is a cancer biologist who co-discovered fibronectin, discovered the RGD cell attachment sequence, helped isolate integrins, and won the 2022 Lasker Award.
Erling Seeberg
Erling Christen Seeberg (1946–2004) was a biochemist whose 1970s work showed that three uvr gene products cut ultraviolet-damaged DNA in E. coli, cited in the 2015 Nobel Prize background.

Ermias Kebreab is an Eritrea-born animal scientist at the University of California, Davis, known for trials showing seaweed and 3-NOP feed additives cut cattle methane emissions.
Ermin
Ermin (juxtanodin, ERMN, KIAA1189) is an oligodendrocyte-specific actin-binding cytoskeletal protein of CNS myelin, localized to the outer cytoplasmic lip and paranodal loops; its loss compromises myelin integrity.
Erminio Costa
Erminio Costa (1924–2009) was an Italian-born American neuropharmacologist who showed that benzodiazepines act on the GABAA receptor, identified neurosteroids, and reported reelin down-regulation in schizophrenia.
ERN1
ERN1 (IRE1, IRE1α) is a human gene at 17q23.3 encoding a transmembrane serine/threonine kinase-endoribonuclease that senses ER unfolded proteins, splices XBP1 mRNA, and performs RIDD in the unfolded protein response.
Ernest Amory Codman
Ernest Amory Codman (1869–1940) was a Boston surgeon who pioneered tracking patient outcomes, proposing that hospitals follow every patient and ask "if not, why not?"
Ernest B. Hook
Ernest B. Hook is an American medical geneticist and professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley, known for proposing terathanasia and studying fetal deaths among chromosomally abnormal fetuses.
Ernest Basil Verney

Ernest G. Peralta
Ernest G. Peralta (1959–1999) was an American molecular biologist and Harvard professor who cloned muscarinic receptors and showed how G proteins regulate potassium channels; he died of brain cancer at 40.
