The Key to Scientific Names

Dr Jolanda A. Sangster née Luksenburg (fl. 2013) Dutch zoologist, wife of ornithologist George Sangster (Otus).

I personally think she did not take her husbands name. We can still find her with picture here with her maiden name. Maybe unusual but it is possible to keep her maiden name. Her Ph. D. thesis was The Cetaceans of Aruba: a multidisciplinary Study.

She certainly still publishes (with George) as Jolanda A Luksenburg, e.g. Redirecting.
(I don't know about the Netherlands, but under the current Belgian law, marriage does not affect the name of a woman. Although it is generally admitted that a married woman can use her husband's name in her everyday (unofficial) life, her official name will always remain her maiden name, an she cannot, in principle, use her husband's name in an official context -- e.g., to sign a contract, to open a bank account, to buy a plane ticket, etc.)

 

[JustinJansen]

Correct Laurent, you can choose your own surname (keep maiden name or take husband's name).

 

[Taphrospilus]

Sure the same in Germany with third option of double name as e.g. for Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger.

 

[Björn Bergenholtz]

Guys, I'd keep her as (nothing but): Dr Jolanda A. (Andrea) Luksenburg (fl. 2021) Dutch zoologist, etc., etc. (as of here) ...
