1 Comparisons of phytoplankton community characteristics at different chlorophyll concentrations: “Are we seeing a shift in algal community structure?” discrete (10µg/L bins) 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, 50-60, 60-70, 70-80, 80-90, , >100 ANOVA, multiple comparison post-hoc test Species Richness, Species Evenness, Shannon Diversity, % Dinoflagellate Biomass, % Cyanobacteria Biomass Each season and segment analyzed separately Lower James: Annual corrected YSI chla data, Upper James: Uncorrected extracted chla data 7/23/14 Todd Egerton Old Dominion University

3 Comparisons of exceeding HAB thresholds at different chlorophyll concentrations: “What proportion of samples within a given Chla range exceed a HAB density of concern?” 7/23/14 Todd Egerton Old Dominion University

4 Comparisons of exceeding HAB thresholds at different chlorophyll concentrations: “What proportion of samples within a given Chla range exceed a HAB density of concern?” (Wood and Bukaveckas) Chla bins (10µg/L) x likelihood of impairment (proportion of collections when microcystin exceeds a threshold). Microcystin concentrations based on Rangia bioassays Question: test of significance? 7/23/14 Todd Egerton Old Dominion University

5 Cochlodinium polykrikoides
Comparisons of exceeding HAB thresholds at different chlorophyll concentrations: “What proportion of samples within a given Chla range exceed a HAB density of concern?” Cochlodinium polykrikoides Example thresholds: presence (>10/ml), 1000 cells/ml, 3000 cells/ml, 6000 cells/ml, 12,000 cells/ml discrete (10µg/L bins) 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, 50-60, 60-70, 70-80, 80-90, , >100 Percentage of samples within each Chla bin with C. polykrikoides densities exceeding thresholds , summer season, by segment 7/23/14 Todd Egerton Old Dominion University

12 Chla to Cochlodinium abundance
All Summer season data, all lower James segments, Chla>400 excluded Sig. positive relationships between Chla and C. polykrikoides densities each year…. But: different relationships/regressions 2012 and 2013 similar If ‘concern levels’ are >5000 cells/ml, 2011 data shouldn’t be used due to lower bloom densities? 7/23/14 Todd Egerton Old Dominion University

13 Chla to Cochlodinium abundance
data merged Summer (July-September) JMSMH,JMSPH, LAF, ER N=301 p<0.000, R2=0.64 Linear Regression Y= C. polykrikoides abundance (cells/ml) X= Chla µg /L (annual correction) Y=87.204x 7/23/14 Todd Egerton Old Dominion University

15 Next steps Finalize HAB density threshold(s)
Algal community structure analysis for each segment/season Additional HAB species (Microcystis aeruginosa in JMSTF) 2014 Cochlodinium data (increase confidence in Chl a relationship) IBI calculation and analyses Moving beyond discrete binned analysis: Changepoint analysis, correlation/regression, PCA, multivariate (ANOSIM, PERMANOVA) 7/23/14 Todd Egerton Old Dominion University
