Drones, AI and ducks: How Mizzou is leading the future of wildlife conservation
University of Missouri-ColumbiaFor decades, scientists have relied on airplanes to count birds — a method that’s loud, costly and sometimes dangerous. Accuracy depends on the human eye, and even trained observers can sometimes miss details when birds scatter or blend into their surroundings. Now, scientists at Mizzou’s College of Engineering, led by Professor Yi Shang, are taking that process to new heights. By pairing drones with artificial intelligence, the team developed a smarter, safer and faster way to track the migration patterns of these birds — including mallards and pintails, two species of wild duck common to Missouri. Their efforts could transform how this conservation work is carried out across the state and beyond.

Proper processing is key to pathogen control in recycled manure solids bedding on dairy farms
ElsevierBedding choice is a crucial factor in both cow comfort and udder health, and dairy farms in the Midwest are increasingly turning to recycled manure solids (RMS) as a cost-effective and readily available option. But because RMS originates from manure, questions remain about whether it can harbor mastitis-causing bacteria or other pathogens. A new cross-sectional study in JDS Communications, published by Elsevier, explores how different processing methods affect pathogen levels, giving producers clearer insight into the benefits and limitations of RMS bedding.

Palladium-catalyzed coupling of propargyl alcohol esters with various nucleophiles to construct polysubstituted functionalized conjugated dienes
Chinese Chemical SocietyThe research team led by Liang'an Chen from Nanjing Normal University and Liangliang Song from Nanjing Forestry University has made a new breakthrough in the field of conjugated diene chemistry. Based on the neutral reaction mechanism of oxidative addition-reductive elimination and utilizing a ligand angle control strategy, they achieved palladium-catalyzed regio-, chemo-, and stereoselective coupling of propargyl alcohol esters with a variety of nucleophiles (including fluorides, phenols, alcohols, carboxylic acids, and amides), constructing a series of high-value-added multi-substituted conjugated dienes. The practicality of this method has been demonstrated through the application and transformation of these functionalized 1,3-dienes in cycloaddition and coupling reactions, as well as the subsequent modification of natural products and bioactive molecules. The article was published as an open access research article in CCS Chemistry, the flagship journal of the Chinese Chemical Society.
