Ok, a very (?) hard one.
Terry Pratchett, Adolf Hitler, Mick Jagger, David Attenborough, Tobey Maguire. Not an exhaustive list.
Adolf Hitler has a beetle and a lot of man-made things
Mick Jagger has an extinct water pig
David Attenborough has lots - fossils, plants, weevils, insects, and spiders
Tobey Maguire has a spider - which is not extinct
I can't pick anything that relates to all of them, although spiders and extinct things come close.

They've all had more than one species named after them.

I was amused anyway. Emu? Who knew?
Both plants became commercial plantings in the US (macadamia in Hawaii, eucalypts in California).
I've run out of ideas for this thread. I've been hunting on Braingle but I'm still not inspired. Sorry. 😳
