Alexander Sokoloff (May 16, 1920 - March 23, 2011) was a biologist〔("Biologist: Bugs can help feed the world's hungry" ), ''The San Bernardino County Sun'', San Bernardino, California, July 5, 1987 Page 27〕 and geneticist〔("Manuscript Acquisitions, 2002" ). ''APS Library Bulletin'', Fall 2002.〕 who conducted genetic research on the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, a world-wide pest species.〔D. L. Faustini, W. E. Burkholder, R. J. Laub. ("Sexually dimorphic setiferous sex patch in the male red flour beetle,Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae): Site of aggregation pheromone production" ). ''Journal of Chemical Ecology'' March 1981, Volume 7, Issue 2, pp 465-480〕 From 1965 to 1990 he was a Professor of Biology at California State College, San Bernardino, serving for part of that time as Department Chair. ==Early life and education== Born in Japan, Sokoloff grew up in Mexico City, where his family moved after the Tokyo earthquake. In high school, Sokoloff's early interests in biology and genetics lead him to work as a field assistant for the evolutionary population geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky. At the age of 15, Sokoloff emigrated to the U.S. to study biology. He earned his B.S. degree in Zoology at the University of California Los Angeles and his Ph.D degree at the University of Chicago in the laboratory of Thomas Park. During his graduate work in the late 1950's, Sokoloff studied the genetics of Tribolium, discovering and describing hundreds of genetic mutants,〔Barbara Milutinović, * Clemens Stolpe, Robert Peuβ, Sophie A.
