Allan Robert Phillips

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Allan Robert Phillips (born October 25, 1914 in New York City , † January 26, 1996 in San Nicolás de los Garza ) was an American ornithologist .

Live and act

His father Robert W. Phillips (1891-1943) was a businessman in New York. In 1913 he married Alma Josephi, a concert pianist who was very active in the city's cultural scene. In addition to Allan, the marriage resulted in two other children. His brother was called George (1918-), his sister Ruth (1922-). The marriage ended in divorce and the mother married the first violinist of the New York Symphony Orchestra, William X. Foster. From this marriage he had a half-sister named Marjorie (1929-).

Philipps attended the Horace Mann School from 1920 to 1931. In 1932 he enrolled at Cornell University , moved to the University of Arizona from 1933 to 1934 before returning to Cornell and finally graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in February 1936 . How much he was valued from a young age was shown by the fact that, despite his undergraduated status, Arthur Augustus Allen (1885–1964) invited him to a meeting with graduated students. He returned to Tuscon in 1936 to do his Master of Science degree at the University of Arizona in June 1939. His master's thesis was entitled The Faunal Areas of Arizona Based on Bird Distribution .

In 1940 he went back to Cornell University, where he obtained his Ph.D. in September 1946 despite his military service during World War II. acquired. His dissertation was titled The Birds of Arizona .

In 1957 he bought a house in the Colonia Las Águilas district in western Mexico City. Here the housekeeper Juana Farfan Bautista was recommended to him, who moved in with him as the mother of four children named Nilo, Alejandro, Mela and Anita. Phillips married her and on November 12, 1961 his first son Robert was born. It was followed on August 19, 1963 by the son Edward and finally on October 28, 1968 by the son Edward. The widow, his stepchildren and his sons survived the father.

Ornithological career

The summers of his early teens spent time on family estate near Jackman , Maine . Here his mother introduced him to the bird and animal world. As a 5-year-old he was so fascinated by it that he began to keep lists of what he had seen. At the age of 16 he was sent to Fresnal Ranch School in the Baboquivari Mountains because of his asthma . Here he met Randolph Jenks (1912–2011), who inspired him to learn about the avifauna of the southwestern United States.

From 1942 to 1945 he served in the army. After insulting an officer, he was tried before a military tribunal. He lost his rank as a non-commissioned officer and ended up in prison. Here he only wrote the first part of his doctoral thesis from memory. At first he left blank the places that he could not remember. He sent the manuscript to his mother, who typed it with the help of Lyndon Lane Hagrave (1896–1978). The draft already comprised 392 pages and so he was able to fill the gaps with library material within a year after his return to Cornell. During his military service he was also in contact with Cornell students such as the ornithologist Ralph Simon Palmer (1914-2003), who photographed him on June 8, 1944 at Omaha Beach , or Frank Cassell in Okinawa Prefecture .

He kept a catalog of the birds in his own collection, which he abandoned when he donated his hides to the Museum of Northern Arizona . The list of his collectors or taxidermists reads like Who is Who? the ornithologists from Cornell, the American Southwest, and later Mexico. In addition to Gale Wendell Monson (1912–2012), Adriaan Joseph van Rossem (1892–1949), Kenneth Carroll Parkes (1922–2007), there are also many other luminaries . The ornithologist and illustrator George Miksch Sutton (1898–1982) was z. B. Taken on June 10, 1940, because he made his drawings from a research trip for his book The Birds of Arizona available.

In August 1963, Amadeo Michael Rea (* 1939), a former Franciscan , came to teach at St. John's Indian School on the Gila River Indian Reservation . He collected hides there and was advised to contact Phillips about them. Three of the specimens were immediately included in The Birds of Arizona and a lifelong friendship developed between the two. Rea was undoubtedly considered his worthy successor in many ways.

From April 20 to May 7, 1947, he went on his first foray through Mexico with van Rossem. Further trips to Sonora followed in 1951, 1952 and 1953. His first long excursion took him to Nayarit with his friend Lewis D. Jaeger from November 5 to December 2, 1952 .

When Dwain Willard Warner (1917–2005) invited him to Mexico City in March 1954 after a visit to his home in Tuscon , he gratefully accepted the invitation. Between May 11th and July 5th, both of them went on a trip to western and central Mexico.

One of his most important encounters was that with the Mexican mammologist Bernardo Villa Ramírez (1911–2006). He worked at the Instituto de Biología of the National Autonomous University of Mexico and invited Phillips to continue his academic career at the institute. He finally decided to move there. The collection he brought with him was larger than the institute's own. He worked at the institute from 1957 to 1974. When the situation at the institute worsened for political reasons and he also had to deal with the cold and air pollution in Mexico City, he moved to San Nicolás de los Garza, where he got in touch with the Universidad in 1973 Autónoma de Nuevo León and the local ornithologist Salvador Contreras-Balderas (1936–2009) came. He also taught at the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo . Other important friends from this time were the businessman and environmentalist Andrés Marcelo Sada Zambrano (* 1930) and Aldegundo Garza de León (* 1939), the founder of the Bird Museum in Saltillo .

Phillips was considered a relatively independent researcher with little support from other resources. Between 1933 and 1945 he published 195 articles and 4 books. 1964 appeared The Birds of Arizona , a book he published with Joe Truesdell Marshall, Jr. (1918-2015) and Monson. Sutton contributed the illustrations and Eliot Furness Porter (1901–1990) the photographs. He also worked with Monson on the 1981 Annotated Checklist of the Birds of Arizona . The first volume of The known birds of North and Middle America appeared in 1986 and the second volume in 1991 . In his publications he described 160 new scientific names. Phillips was a typical alpha taxonomist ; H. His focus was on the description of new species and their preliminary grouping into collective genera, but also dealt with the immediate ramifications, such as loss of habitat and biodiversity .

Dedication names

In 1974, John Patrick Hubbard and Richard Stanley Crossin dedicated a subspecies of the rust- wood hammer ( Aimophila ruficeps phillipsi ), Adriaan Joseph van Rossem 1947 a subspecies of the bridle tit ( Baeolophus wollweberi phillipsi ), Mario Alberto Ramos Olmos 1991 a subspecies of the Cayenneralle ( vanrossemianeus ), dwarf throttle ( Catharus ustulatus phillipsi ), Robert William Dickerman 1973 a subspecies of Kahn's beak ( cochlearius cochlearius phillipsi ) Fat man and Dwain Willard Warner in 1962 a subspecies of Gartentrupials ( jaundice spurius phillipsi ), Marvin Ralph Browning 1993 a subspecies of Diademhähers ( Cyanocitta stelleri phillipsi ) and 1994 a subspecies of gold warbler ( Setophaga petechia phillipsi ), Gary Russell Graves and John Seddon Weske 1987 Siratangare ( Tangara phillipsi ), Philip Unitt and Amadeo Michael Rea 1997, a subspecies of the Andean tree runner ( Certhia americana phillipsi ), Kenneth Carroll park 1991 a subspecies of the Gray Cape penvireos ( Hylophilus decurtatus phillipsi ) and 1997 a subspecies of the red cardinal ( Cardinalis cardinalis phillipsi ).

His name can also be found in the fossils Rhynchopsitta phillipsi Rea , 1997 and Rallus phillipsi Wetmore , 1957.

His wife was honored in a subspecies of the spotted owl ( Strix occidentalis juanaphillipsae Dickerman , 1997).
