Theodore Albert Parker III

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Theodore Albert Parker III (often also Ted Parker , Theodore A. Parker ) (born April 1, 1953 in Lancaster , Pennsylvania , † August 3, 1993 northwest of Guayaquil ) was an American ornithologist who was involved in a plane crash with the botanist Alwyn Howard Gentry (1945-1993), the president of the local group of the Fundación Natura Eduardo Aspiazu Estrada, and the pilot Luis Raúl Mortensen Jiménez died on an expedition to the Cordillera del Cóndor northwest of Guayaquil.

Life

His parents were Theodore Albert Parker Jr. and Dorothy Parker geb. Lowery.

Ted Parker grew up in a foster family in Lancaster. At the age of six, he and his grandmother attended the local North Museum of Natural History & Science . It was probably the initial spark for his desire to become a scientist. Together with his younger brother Blanford Chase Parker, he was often out and about in the great outdoors around Lancaster from a young age. For example, he was already collecting molluscs during his school days. But while other children were looking for collectibles on the beach or buying collectibles from the dealer, he visited the local fish markets, always looking for rare specimens. In high school he was a conservationist and participated in an environmental impact statement for the Lancaster water supply. His preferences for birds developed early on.

In 1976 he married Susan Allen (now Susan Allen Lohr). Due to his constant absence, his first marriage broke up and both Louisiana State University (LSU) and Baton Rouge became the center of his life.

In 1980 he met Carol Walton, whom he married in 1985. But this marriage also failed because Parker's life was still focused on work in the field.

Parker as a scientist

As a senior in high school , Parker attempted to break a record set by Stuart Keith (1931-2003) in 1956 . The aim was to observe as many bird species as possible in the USA and Canada within one year. Keith had observed 598 species of birds in one year by then. In the spring and summer of 1971, Parker toured the United States with the help of Harold B. Morrin (1923–2012) and other friends. In the fall, he enrolled at the University of Arizona for strategic purposes as the area was considered a generally good location for ornithologists. Parker broke the record, even if he didn't attend a class for the first two semesters because of it. This is how his first publication, 626 Species in One Year: A New North American Record , came about and it was even mentioned in Reader's Digest . He was quickly recognized as a bird expert in Arizona . Within two years he became editor for the Southwest region for the American birds journal of the National Audubon Society . He majored in biology , but later switched to anthropology to avoid organic chemistry and physics . University professors like Howard Ronald Pulliam convinced him to focus his talent on the main direction of ornithology.

His research trips delayed his graduation until 1977. He owed his graduation at all to his then wife Susan and his friend John Patton O'Neill , two people who drove him consistently.

From the mid-1970s to the 1980s, his main income was directing bird watching tours. Here he worked mainly for Victor Emanuel Nature Tours . This work gave him the opportunity to study bird colonies in hundreds of different locations in the neotropics. On average, he was in the field 6 months a year.

Parker worked for 15 years on the identification book Birds of Peru , a book that was only published after his death by Thomas Scott Schulenberg , Douglas Forrester Stotz , the illustrator Daniel Franklin Lane , John Patton O'Neill and himself. Between 1977 and 1990 he published 37 essays, produced 2 cassettes and a catalog with annotations entitled A checklist of Peruvian birds . If you look at the reference list in Volumes 8 and 9 of the Handbook of the Birds of the World , you can guess how much influence his publications have on the ornithology of the neotropics. Even Phoebe Snetsinger (1931-1999) knew his achievements in her book "Birding on Borrowed Time" to appreciate by writing:

"... his ability to name - at the pace of a machine gun - all bird species within a quick-moving flock, which a few seconds later was gone. (German: ... his ability - at the speed of a machine gun - to name all bird species in a fast-moving group of birds that had flown away within seconds. "

Posthumously he received the Ph.D. for his services to the LSU programs. awarded.

Research trips

Parker made his first trips to Mexico and the neotropics during the second semester . These excursions led to important insights into the area from Jalisco to Chiapas and first scientific contributions. During the time he was not planning to travel to Mexico, he pored over literature on the neotropics. In the spring of 1974, George Hines Lowery (1913–1978) called his former student Stephen Mims Russell to see if he knew of any student who would be interested in participating in a bird survey for the LSU on Peruvian birds . Russell recommended Parker, who gratefully accepted the offer from LSU. On his first trip, he spent eight months in Peru and learned the language and local customs with his Peruvian companion, Reyes Rivera. During this trip in 1974 his passion for recording bird calls grew.

Shortly after his first marriage, he and his wife Susan set off again on a seven-month trip to Peru. In the Tambopata nature reserve , he refined the procedure for the inventory of birds in a certain area. This was probably his greatest merit for the avifauna of the neotropics. Up until this point, the inventory was based mainly on collected reports from museums, captured and released birds, and occasional observations. To get a complete picture, traditional museum methods of taking stock of the species-rich Amazon would have devoured thousands of hours of work. Parker specialized in recording bird calls. By playing back the recordings, he methodically tracked down almost every bird song in the rainforest. More importantly, he remembered every bird call he'd ever heard. He even managed to convince skeptics at LSU of his approach to bird inventory. His method had features of a revolutionary character. While voice recording had a long tradition in the neotropics, there was no one to date who had mastered the craft as effectively as Ted Parker. By the mid-1980s, he had perfected it to the point where he was able to capture 80 to 90% of the birds in these areas in a few mornings in local areas from Mexico to Brazil. With more than 15,000 recordings, he provided a lot of material for the Library of Natural Sounds (LNS) at Cornell University . In addition to the voice recordings, he also collected over 3000 type copies for the LSU.

In his book A Parrot Without a Name: The Search for the Last Unknown Birds on Earth , Don Stap described an LSU program that Parker also participated in. In it he described how Parker discovered the orange-eyed broad-billed tyrant ( Tolmomyias traylori ), which was new to science, only through his song.

He was fully aware of the risk he was taking when visiting remote areas. His travel experiences have ranged from car accidents with wild animals and other means of transport in Mexico over the sinking of the boat by John Patton O'Neill and through his Aguarunas to persecutions of steineschmeißendem mob in Peru. He had even experienced critical moments with small planes. He was caught in a severe thunderstorm on an airplane in the east of Peru and almost died when landing at a disused airport in Bolivia.

On August 3, 1993, Al Gentry, Jaqueline Maria Goerck , Eduardo Aspiazu, the biologists Alfredo Luna , Carmen Bonifaz de Elao (1956-) and Parker set off from Guayaquil on an expedition to the Cordillera del Cóndor. Due to pilot errors by Luis Raúl Mortensen Jiménez, the aircraft crashed into a mountain forest covered by fog. Goercke, Parker's fiancée at the time, fractured both her ankle and had back injuries. Nevertheless, she and Bonifaz de Elao somehow managed to walk towards the valley. When the help arrived at the scene of the accident, only the seriously injured Alfredo Luna was still alive.

environmental Protection

No matter who he was with, Parker always tried to convince people of the importance of preserving the world's fauna. Even the Nobel Prize in Physics, Murray Gell-Mann , who is an avid bird watcher, was deeply impressed by Paker's knowledge during a trip to South America. As director of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation , he campaigned for the foundation to raise funds through Conservation International for Parker's idea of ​​a large-scale biological inventory called the Rapid Assessment Program (RAP) . The hard core of the program included Parker, the two botanists Alwyn Gentry and Robin Bradford Foster as well as the mammal login Louise Hickok Emmons . The aim of the program was to take stock of a specific area in a relatively short period of time and to make the results available to environmentalists, biologists, administrators and politicians in a hastily prepared report. Although Parker was well aware that further long-term studies were essential, he saw the RAP protocols as an important tool in collecting enough data to help set priorities for environmental protection in the tropics. He therefore convinced the MacArthur Foundation to provide additional funding for traditional long-term studies. It is one of his merits that the Madidi National Park in Bolivia was declared a protected zone.

Memberships

Ted Parker had been a member of the American Ornithologists' Union ( AOU ) since 1982 . In 1987 it finally became an elected member of the AOU.

Dedication names and obeisances

In their book Birds of the High Andes , Jon Fjeldså and Niels Krabbe wrote about Parker:

"In particular we thank Theodore A. Parker for an enormous amount of life history data. As he by far the greatest capacity on the life histories of Neotropical birds there ever was, his contribution to our knowledge of Neotropical birds can not be stressed strongly enough. (German: In particular, we thank Theodore A. Parker for his tremendous contribution of natural historical data. He was by far the best expert on the birds of the neotropics. His contributions to our knowledge of the birds of the neotropics cannot be emphasized enough become."

In his obituary, Thomas Carlberg even calls him Mozart among ornithologists .

In 1981 and 1997 Gary Russell Graves made his respects in the scientific naming. So he named a subspecies of the copper tail ( Metallura theresiae parkeri ) and the kind Parker's ant catcher ( Cercomacroides parkeri ). Graves highlighted his genius by writing:

"Ted Parker did not spend his time performing statistical analyzes of character gradients or formulating null models of mixed-species flocks, but more importantly he collected data and observations that made my research on the set topics possible. That was part of his genius. (German: Ted Parker did not spend his time formulating statistical analyzes of substance gradients or null models for mixed groups of birds, but more importantly he collected data and observations that enabled my research in these areas. This was part of this genius. "

In 1986 Tristan J. Davis and John Patton O'Neill dedicated the specific epithet in the scientific name of the gray-throated ant catcher to him : Herpsilochmus parkeri . For him, the common name Parker’s Antbird found its way into English-language literature .

Mark Blair Robbins and Steve NG Howell recognized his achievements in 1995 with the scientific species name for the little owl Glaucidium parkeri , for which the common name Parker tinker owl was chosen.

In Studies in Neotropical Ornithology honoring Ted Parker , a compilation from 1997 with various articles by different authors, which was edited by James Vanderbeek Remsen Jr , he was thought of several times when giving the name. In addition to the Parkers Ameisenfänger, dedicated to him John W. Fitzpatrick and Douglas Forrester Stotz the Zimtgesicht-Laubtyrann ( Phylloscartes parkeri ), Niels Krabbe and Thomas Scott Schulenberg the Bambustapaculo ( Scytalopus parkeri ) and finally Morton L. Isler , Phyllis R. Isler and Bret M . Whitney a subspecies of Natterer drops ants slayer ( Thamnophilus stictocephalus parkeri ).

In the past, the Parker's bush panties ( Cranioleuca vulpecula ) ( Sclater, PL & Salvin , 1866), were considered a subspecies of the reddish-brown bush panties ( Cranioleuca vulpina ) ( Pelzeln , 1856). Kevin Jay Zimmer finally raised Cranioleuca vulpecula to an independent species in an analysis. As an English common name, he finally suggested Parker's Spinetail in memory of the deceased.

In 2000 Gilbert Barrantes and Julio E. Sánchez described a new subspecies of the yellow-flanked silkcatcher ( Phainoptila melanoxantha parkeri ) which also includes Parker's name.
