Statistical Inferences Applying Non-Parametric Data on Cyanobacterial Investigations: Contributions to Water Quality and New Trends under Global Changes on Portuguese Freshwater Ecosystems.

ABSTRACT: Cyanobacteria are a bloom-forming ancient group of photosynthetic prokaryotes. A rise in temperature is a major contributor to its massive proliferation, namely on freshwater ecosystems, with social and economic impacts. Thus, reliable and cost-effective tools can permit the fast surveillance and assessment of temperature effects on potentially toxic cyanobacteria distribution and impacts. The occurrence of three potentially toxic cyanobacteria species was assessed on seven sampling points across three sampling years. Moreover, the association between the occurrence of those cyanobacteria species with climate change events was addressed. Here, we combined molecular and statistical methods to study the impacts of temperature on the occurrence of three globally occurring cyanotoxin-producing
