Missing Mike Majerus

Mike Majerus, the Cambridge zoologist and lepidopterist, died overnight between this past Monday and Tuesday. Majerus patiently rebutted both religious antievolutionist and scientific misunderstandings of the evidence for evolution provided by industrial melanism seen in the peppered moth, Biston betularia.

NCSE has a summary rebuttal to antievolutionist claims about resting places of moths mostly based on the research of Majerus.

I consider this weblog an extension of my living room in cyberspace. If you enter a comment that I wouldn't find acceptable in my living room, I'm likely to boot both you and your comment. Fair warning, OK?
Because of the above, I exercise prior restraint. I approve comments when I can get online. Currently, this does not include weekday working hours. Be patient; if you have entered a reasonable comment, it will be approved as I get the opportunity to see it.
For a lightly moderated forum on evolution/creation issues, please visit After the Bar Closes at AntiEvolution.org. This web bulletin board picks up where the Fidonet Evolution Echo (founded by me in 1991) left off.
