Saltmarsh provides essential fish feeding and nursery habitat but has globally declined by 50%. We used a statistical block design to compare fish feeding activity within human‐engineered or “re‐aligned” saltmarsh to established saltmarsh. Linear and multivariate modelling highlighted that Thinlip Mullet ( Chelon ramada ) and European Bass ( Dicentrarchus labrax ) feeding rates were 16% and 31% lower within re‐aligned than est...

Honey bee hives are filled with stored pollen, honey, plant resins and wax, all antimicrobial to differing degrees. Stored pollen is the nutritionally rich currency used for colony growth and consists of 40–50% simple sugars. Many studies speculate that prior to consumption by bees, stored pollen undergoes long‐term nutrient conversion, becoming more nutritious ‘bee bread’ as microbes predigest the pollen. We quantified both s...
