Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1481-1491, February 2026.Both active and passive questing ticks, Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus, were assessed for behavioural responses to two novel plant‐derived repellent volatile organic compound blends. Both tick species were repelled by the products, and both novo blends were significantly more repellent than currently available commercial products.

Transient 7‐hour coma following a sacrococcygeal epidural with ropivacaine in a cat
Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract A 2‐year‐old cat was anaesthetised for pelvic fracture repair. Premedication included methadone 0.2 mg/kg and medetomidine 5 µg/kg intravenously (IV). Anaesthesia was induced with ketamine 2 mg/kg and propofol 1 mg/kg IV and maintained with isoflurane.

Severe hyperglycaemia associated with prolonged isoflurane anaesthesia in an alpaca (Vicugna pacos)
Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Alpacas possess distinct glucose and insulin regulatory mechanisms compared with other species, often maintaining higher baseline blood glucose as a normal physiological adaptation. Inhalant anaesthetic agents can further disrupt glucose, insulin and potassium homeostasis, particularly during prolonged procedures.

Have the environmental benefits of insect farming been overstated? A critical review
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 163-194, February 2026.ABSTRACT Insect farming is frequently promoted as a sustainable food solution, yet current evidence challenges many environmental benefits claimed by industry proponents. This review critically examines the scientific foundation for assessing the environmental impacts of insect farming in both human food and animal feed applications.

Seeing Through the “FOG” of U.S. Feedstock Incentives for Transportation Fuels
GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT The demand for fats, oils, and greases (FOG) as biofuel feedstocks has increased in recent years. Further expansions will have uncertain, but potentially significant, effects on food prices, greenhouse gas emissions, and the U.S. farm economy. To address the market‐mediated effects of expanding FOG feedstock consumption, U.S.

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 30-44, February 2026.ABSTRACT Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to both humans and animals. Zoonotic bacteria, such as Campylobacter, contribute to human infections and the spread of AMR, particularly through livestock, pets and wildlife. We investigated the prevalence, distribution and EUCAST ECOFF‐based wild‐type (WT) vs.
