Why should breeding-age birds signal their age with intermediate plumage?

Mark Hauber undertook this project as part of his senior thesis in Organismal Biology, for which he received exceptional distinction upon graduating in 1996.Delayed plumage maturation is knows as the phenomenon whereby young but sexually mature birds display an intermediate plumage between those of juveniles and those of older breeding adults. But why should breeding-age birds signal their age?Mark studied this phenomenon in the Black-throated Blue Warblers at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, collaborating with Dartmouth’s ecology professor Richard Holmes. Mark spent each day surveying the forest for new nests originated by female warblers and assessed whether earlier-nesting females were mated to older or younger males in the territory. The results were suggestive of younger birds arriving later and beginning to breed with less time to spare during the short breeding season in New Hampshire. After graduating, Mark went onto obtaining a PhD focusing on bird behavior at Cornell University and was a postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley. Today he works as professor and associate provost for research at Hunter College in the City University of New York (www.cowbirds.org) .

Shingon pilgrimage of 88 temples on Japan’s rural Shikoku Island

Julie Pütgen Yale Class of 1994 Driven by interests in pilgrimage and in Japanese calligraphic art, I undertook a single round of the Shingon Buddhist pilgrimage of 88 temples on Japan’s rural Shikoku Island. I traveled alone, with almost no Japanese language skills, relying on pilgrims and local people for directions, companionship, and a sense of what the Shikoku pilgrimage means in this day and age. Attendants at each temple enscribed my pilgrim’s log in beautiful calligraphy, and I photographed the journey and the shrines. Amazing hospitality accompanied every step of my trip- from the initial generosity of the Chase Coggins grant, to simple gifts of milk tea along the way, to the party thrown for me by the mayor of a small town. When I returned to the US, I exhibited the Shikoku 88 photographs at Maya’s Room in Silliman College, and members of the Coggins family attended the opening reception. The Fellowship facilitated several important first steps for me: a first independent journey in Asia (I would go on to travel the region extensively during my two years as a Yale-China Association Fellow at the Chinese University of Hong Kong); a first encounter with Buddhism (I would go on to train as a Buddhist nun in England for three years); and a first solo exhibition outside the confines of a class (I am currently a practicing artist and college art professor). The encouragement to “wander the wilderness with artistic, scientific, or philosophical intent” came at a crucial time in my life, and allowed me the freedom to pursue my artistic and contemplative goals while for the first time confronting a completely different culture on my own.
