The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Same same but different: ecological niche partitioning of planktonic freshwater prokaryotes (2013, background): “They can form dense blooms, with some taxa being able to regulate their buoyancy by gas vacuoles or to produce toxins as grazing defense agents (Dokulil and Teubner, 2000; Posch et al., 2012).”
Impact of climate warming on European inland waters (2014, background): “Reduced turnover rates, however, will favour harmful filamentous cyanobacteria; mixing represents the main mechanism of population control because toxic filamentous cyanobacteria are less affected by predator consumption (Posch et al. 2012).”
Spatial and seasonal shifts in bloom‐forming cyanobacteria in Lake Chaohu: Patterns and driving factors (2016, background): “For example, Microcystis sp. is dominant in Lake Taihu, China (Chen et al. 2003; Deng et al. 2014) and in Lake Erie, USA (Michalak et al. 2013), and Planktothrix rubescens De Candolle ex Gomont is dominant in Lake Zurich, Switzerland (Posch et al. 2012).”
Scientists’ warning to humanity: microorganisms and climate change (2019, neutral): “Reducing phosphorus inputs from fertilizers reduced eukaryotic phytoplankton blooms but increased the nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio and thus the non-nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Planktothrix rubescens became dominant 220 .”
