The call of American bullfrogs was deafening when scientists from UC Davis first began researching the impact of invasive bullfrogs on native northwestern pond turtles at Yosemite National Park. “At night, you could look out over the pond and see a constellation of eyes blinking back at you,” said UCD Ph.D. candidate Sidney Woodruff, lead author of a study chronicling the effects of removal.

Living with wildlife is just something we do, whether we're waiting for turkeys to cross the road at UC Davis or watching a coyote trot across a field at dawn. But as people and the built world expand into natural habitats, wild and domestic animals—including humans—are increasingly sharing the same spaces, with mixed results.

A new economic analysis by UC professors shows the high cost of inaction on California’s perpetual water supply challenges. It estimates that the state could lose enough water each year to supply up to 9 million households — with economic losses totaling between $3.4 and $14.5 billion per year, depending on the severity of the scenario.

Scientists Outline Key Considerations for Floatovoltaics and Waterbirds News From a small California winery to a large-scale energy project in China, floating photovoltaics — or “floatovoltaics”— are gaining in popularity. Commonly installed over artificial water bodies, from irrigation ponds and reservoirs to wastewater treatment plants, floating solar projects can maximize space for producing clean energy while sparing natural lands.

Sandwiched between a lodgepole pine on the left and a foxtail pine on the right is the first Jeffrey pine tree UC Davis Professor Hugh Safford observed in September 2024 on a hike on the south slope of Mount Kaweah. Lodgepole and foxtail pine are commonly found above timberline, but the Jeffrey stood out as “not belonging there.” Credit: Hugh Safford, UC DavisThe highest recorded elevations of Jeffrey pines provide new evidence of a warming climate in the High Sierra.
