Information about Mike Majerus
Dr. Michael E. N. Majerus (born 1954) is a geneticist at the University of Cambridge, and the author of several books.
The son of Fernand and Muriel Majerus, he took an early interest in lepidoptera and ecological genetics following the work of E.B. Ford, whose book Moths (in the New Naturalist series) he bought at age ten. Later he moved into studying ladybirds. He is married to Christina.
His website defines his "keyword" subject areas as:
Evolutionary genetics, ecological genetics, Insecta, polymorphism, melanism, Peppered moth, male-killers, Wolbachia, sexually transmitted disease, reproductive costs, reproductive strategies, ultra-violet patterns in insects, sexual selection, Lepidoptera, Ladybird beetles (Coccinellidae).
He is currently the president of the Amateur Entomologists' Society.

A geneticist is a scientist who studies genetics, the science of heredity and variation of organisms. A geneticist can be a physician, but not always. A geneticist can also be employed as a teacher or researcher.

Evolutionary genetics is the broad field of studies that attempts to account for evolution in terms of changes in gene and genotype frequencies within populations and the processes that convert the variation with populations into more or less permanent variation between species.

Polymorphism in biology occurs when two or more clearly different types exist in the same population of the same species— in other words, the occurrence of more than one form or morph. The caste system in ants is an example.

Melanism is an increased amount of black or nearly black pigmentation (as of skin, feathers, or hair) of an organism, resulting from the presence of melanin. It is the opposite of albinism, which occurs due to lack of melanin.
