Migration The Biology of Life on the Move

Hugh Dingle, Professor Emeritus of Entomology, UC Davis College of Biological Sciences

Hugh Dingle is Professor Emeritus of Entomology and the Center for Population Biology at the University of California, Davis where he was a Director of the Animal Behavior Graduate Group. He is Past President and a Fellow of the Animal Behaviour Society and has a B.A. from Cornell and a PhD in Zoology from the University of Michigan. After postdoctoral work at the University of Cambridge (UK) and Michigan, Dingle went to the University of Iowa in 1964 moving to Davis in 1982. After retirement from UC Davis, he was an Honorary Research Consultant at the University of Queensland (Australia) from 2003-2010. He has conducted multi-taxon research on migration in North and South America, Africa, Australia, and Southeast Asia.
