THIS PAPER IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF SURESH JAYAKAR G. Math and S. D. Jayakar suggested a model for the two-locus control of sex determination in the mosquito Aedes aegypti

G. Math and S. D. Jayakar suggested a model for the two-locus control of sex determination in the mosquito Aedes aegypti (1981, Theor. Pop. Biol. 19, 19-36). This model was extended to multiple alleles and analyzed in mathematical detail by S. Lessard (1987, Theor. Pop. Biol. 31, 339-358). The model supposes that males are “Mm” and females “mm” but the transmission from males is controlled by a...

Yield and quality are central to sustainable crop production. Due to biotic stress, yield loss upto 52 per cent. Chemical control of insect and disease is not feasible for environments and economical not viable. Host plant resistance is the only safe, economical, and environment friendly way for the absolute control of this devastating pest and disease. Historically, long-term cultivation of va...

By this stage in our history, our brains were considerably larger than those of similarly sized apes. Hominins were now sufficiently like modern humans to be included in the genus Homo. The fourth and fifth transformations gave our ancestors even bigger brains and enhanced capacity to communicate and cooperate. Homo was now sapiens. From that stage, Lieberman sees evolution continuing, but in a...
