"Deadly Dog-Killing Flatworm Uncovered in Southern California"

UC Riverside scientists have discovered the presence of a potentially fatal dog parasite, Heterobilharzia americana, in a portion of the Colorado River that runs through California. The parasite, previously found mainly in Texas and other Gulf Coast states, can cause canine schistosomiasis, impacting the liver and intestines of dogs. Researchers collected over 2,000 snails from the river banks and confirmed the presence of the parasite. Health officials are urging pet owners to be aware of the risks and to seek veterinary care if their dogs show symptoms after swimming in the Colorado River.

"Natural Pest Control: New Animal Discovery Safeguards Crops Without Pesticides"

Researchers at UC Riverside have discovered a new species of nematode, Steinernema adamsi, which has the potential to protect crops without the need for pesticides. These tiny worms offer a promising biological control option for managing crop pests in warm and humid regions, where other beneficial nematodes struggle to survive. The new species, named after biologist Byron Adams, has unique features and could provide valuable insights into ecological and evolutionary dynamics. The researchers hope to further study the nematode's properties and its potential applications in sustainable agriculture and pest management.

"Rare Footage: Live Birth of a Great White Shark Captured"

A UC Riverside student and a photographer may have captured the first-ever footage of a newborn white shark off the coast of Santa Barbara, shedding light on the mysterious birthing habits of great white sharks. The 5-foot shark, believed to be only hours old, was captured on drone footage by wildlife filmmaker Carlos Gauna and UC Riverside biology doctoral student Phillip Sternes. The footage, which has gone viral, challenges previous beliefs about where great whites are born and could lead to further research and conservation efforts to protect these waters.

"UC Riverside Professor's Resignation Amid Native American Identity Controversy"

Andrea Smith, a prominent ethnic studies professor at the University of California, Riverside, has agreed to retire next year following accusations that she falsely claimed to be Native American. The separation agreement allows her to keep her position until August 2024, teach classes until then, and retain retirement benefits, but she will not be listed in the university's directory as an emeritus professor. The agreement avoids an investigation into the faculty complaint and potential legal battles. While some Native scholars see this as a form of accountability, they lament that Smith did not acknowledge deception, and the university allowed her to evade a reckoning by not investigating the accusations.
