C. Clark Cockerham is remembered for his pioneering formulation of new statistical theory in quantitative genetics and for establishing principles for the understanding of heredity and the genetic improvement of animals and plants. His related work in population-genetic formulations of the variance of allele frequencies provides the means to characterize population structure, and is used by both human geneticists and molecular ecologists.--from the memoir by Bruce Weir
