Perazzo pbperazzo@comcast.net June 16, 2004, 12:14 pm "The Davis Enterprise," Tuesday, March 30, 2004 Dale Lott A celebration of life is planned on Tuesday, April 6, for Dale Lott, a UC Davis professor emeritus who died Jan. 26, 2004, at age 70. The memorial service will take place at 4 p.m. in the Recreation Pool Lodge on the UCD campus. Lott was founding chairman of the department of wildlife, fish and conservation biology and helped found the Animal Behavior Graduate Group at UC Davis, which has become the largest body of faculty working in animal behavior at any campus in the world. Lott investigated animal behavior before earthquakes and interactions between nomadic herdsman and their cattle in Kenya, and was one of the first scientists to study the possible impact of tourists on wildlife. Much of Lott's research focused on bison, his lifelong interest, which led him to write "American Bison," a well-received nonfiction book about bison and the settling of the American West.
