 * The true eponyms are already included (i.e. species that were named by other workers in honor of Dickerson). The other names are solely common names, of which any organism may have multiple, and as far as I know simply refer to the fact that Dickerson herself described the species, so I'm not sure how relevant their inclusion in this article would be. --Animalparty!

Addition to early life and career

Taught nature study and Rhode Island State normal school, which was designed to save city-born children from the ravages of modernity.

Wrote articles in the magazine "The Pageant of Nature" from January-December 1907. Wanted to inform readers about the seasonal patterns of in the lives of small creatures, to read tracks in the snow, and to smell summer's passing.

Dickerson considered exhibition work to be of equal importance to research she developed the concept of hereptological "habitat groups" (dioramas) by employing a variety of preparation techniques, especially wax casting, to create lifelike models. This helped to create a more integrated exhibit.
