I appreciate Mariappan and Balasundaram for taking a lead in highlighting flaws in taxonomical literature which have not only led to wrong scientific interpretations, but also monetary loss. Mistakes of this kind are a result of poor knowledge on the subject, because of which we are unable to estimate how many species of animals and plants exist today.Full Text

Sixteen species of insects belonging to four families of Hymenoptera visited flowers of Ocimum basilicum. Among them, non-Apis bees represented 85% of all flower visitors. Nectar was the main attractant for floral visitors. Besides Ocimum, agricultural crops such as cucumber, bitter gourd, brinjal, etc. in adjacent fields were visited by the same species of flower visitors. Hence, if planted near the agricultural fields, Ocimum sp. could attract pollinating insects for enhancing crop productivity.Keywords

The editorial by Dalal1 ‘on the quality of Ph D students in India’ is thought-provoking. I fully agree that students mostly rely on rote learning rather than problemsolving. They get readymade notes and depend on the internet for solving problems. This system has contributed students who have not learnt to think for themselves, which is a problem if you want to take up a research career. We need to change our system of instruction, which needs to be thought-provoking. For example, each student in the beginning is taught ‘A for apple’, so thinking is restricted to apple alone. However, if an option is given to the students to write 10 names beginning with A, they will be forced to explore other options and apply their minds. The effort needs to begin with teaching the teachers, way starting from the primary-school level to ensure that we provide the coming generations with the best possible education.Full Text
