Here, we report draft genomic sequences from three isolates, the causative agent of American Foulbrood (AFB), obtained from honeybee colonies of in Fiji, which allow both enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus and multilocus sequence typing genotypes to be elucidated for Fijian AFB.

Here, we present complete genome assemblies of strains isolated from porcine, bovine, and cervine farms as part of bacteriology incursion investigations to identify pathogens that might present a sanitary risk to New Zealand.

Patterns of connectivity and adaptation in such species are often thought to be influenced by spatial factors, environmental heterogeneity, and oceanographic and geomorphological features. Population-level studies that analytically integrate genome-wide data with environmental information (i.

However, ongoing pressures from increased urbanisation and agriculture, overlaid by climate change, has reduced inflows and increased nutrient loads that challenge the health and buffering capacity of these ecosystems. This study aimed to investigate whether restoring the bioturbating activity of Simplisetia aequisetis (Polychaeta: Nereididae) and other macrofauna could improve biogeochemical conditions in 'hostile' (i.
