The Key to Scientific Names

Paul R. Sweet (fl. 2014) US ornithologist, Ornithology Collections Manager AMNH (subsp. Garrulax milleti).

I am wondering if he is related to Paul Robinson Sweet (1907–2003) who wrote Wilhelm Von Humboldt: A Biography? It can't be the same person as or Paul R. Sweet is fortunately still alive.

That Paul Robinson Sweet (1907–2003) was born and died in Willow Grove, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania and I am pretty sure is no relation..

From here:

Paul Sweet was born in Bristol, England and has been interested in Natural History for as long as he can remember. After completing a degree in Zoology at the University of Liverpool, he traveled extensively in the Americas and Asia for several years before working in the Raffles Museum in Singapore. In 1991 he moved to New York to work at the American Museum of Natural History where he is now the Collection Manager of the Ornithology Department, the largest bird collection in the world. During his tenure at the Museum, he has participated in many museum expeditions to countries such as Vietnam, Central African Republic, Venezuela, Argentina and the Solomon Islands.
