Median and range (minimum – maximum) for phytoplankton, cyanobacteria, microcystin, and zooplankton parameters measured between August and December 2010 for each site at Lake Yangebup. CB fraction = cyanobacterial biomass as % of total phytoplankton biomass, H’_Phyto = Shannon-Wiener Index based on phytoplankton biomass, H’_Zoo = Shannon-Wiener Index based on zooplankton biomass, Daphnia/cal. cop. = ratio of Daphnia to calanoid copepoda, Intracell. MC = intracellular microcystin concentration (µg L⁻¹), Bioaccum. MC = bioaccumulated microcystin concentration in zooplankton (µg MC g⁻¹dry mass). N = 5 unless stated otherwise in superscript brackets. Superscript letters indicate results of post-hoc tests for differences between sites for each parameter with sites having identical letters being not significantly different.
