A fungus devastating frogs and toads on nearly every continent may have an Achilles heel. Scientists have discovered a virus that infects the fungus, and that could be engineered to save the amphibians.
A new study greatly reduces uncertainty in climate change predictions, a move economists say could save the world trillions in adaptations for a hotter future.
Researchers at UC Riverside discovered how supergenes control the origin and duplication of petite ant queens.

UC Riverside scientists confirm, for the first time, that a potentially fatal dog parasite is present in a portion of the Colorado River that runs through California.
For those curious about insects – their behavior, love lives, the threat or lack thereof they pose to humans – there is a new podcast from UC Riverside: Can I Bug You?
Ernst and Helen Leibacher's donation of land to UCR fund the establishment of an endowed chair in botany and plant sciences.
UC Riverside-led study findings can help tackle other pathogenic coronaviruses
New scent-based therapy can delay disease; has implications also for agricultural production
Two University of California, Riverside undergraduate students have been named 2024’s Mentor of the Year by Big Brothers Big Sisters, or BBBS, of the Orange County and the Inland Empire region. This annual announcement honors individuals who demonstrate how mentoring relationships help mentees — or “Littles,” achieve their biggest possible...
UC Riverside study urges e-cigarette users to be cautious about vaping in the era of COVID-19
Identification of RNA-binding proteins using R-DeeP reveals new drug targets
Scientists have long thought of the fluid-filled sac around our lungs merely as a cushion from external damage. UC Riverside scientists have learned it also houses potent virus-eating cells that rush into the lungs during flu infections.
UC Riverside scientists have discovered a tiny worm species that infects and kills insects. These worms, called nematodes, could control crop pests without pesticides in warm, humid places where other beneficial nematodes are currently unable to thrive.
With an arsenal of advanced technology, scientists have found a multi-planet star system that provides a rare insight into the way planets form and behave around a young star.
Great whites, the largest predatory sharks in the world with the most fatal attacks on humans, are tough to imagine as newborn babies. That is partially because no one has seen one in the wild, it seems, until now.
A new study shows the Megalodon, a gigantic shark that went extinct 3.6 million years ago, was significantly more slender than earlier studies suggested.
Scientists have known about a particular organelle in plant cells for over a century. However, UCR scientists have only now discovered that organelle’s key role in aging.
