[1] His principal work, Histoire des insectes nuisibles à la vigne (1842), was completed after his death by Henri Milne-Edwards and Émile Blanchard.

[2] Many of his papers appeared in the Annales des sciences naturelles, which, with Adolphe Theodore Brongniart and Jean-Baptiste Dumas, he founded in 1824,[3] as well as in the proceedings of the Société entomologique de France, of which he was one of the founders in 1832.

With Brongniart and Jean Baptiste Bory de Saint-Vincent, he was co-author of the Dictionnaire Classique d'Histoire Naturelle,[4] and with Henri Milne-Edwards, he collaborated on a study of marine animals found in French coastal waters.

He also completed Marie Jules César Savigny's ornithological section of Description de l'Egypte (1826).

[7] Audouin's gull (Larus audouinii) is an ornithological species named in his honor,[8] as is the red alga Audouinella, and in the French language, the term poche copulatrice d'Audouin (the copulatory pouch of Audouin) is another name for the spermatheca.
