Provides streamlined workflows for univariate and factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA), analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA), similarity percentages (SIMPER), generalized linear models, non-linear morphometric regressions, two-group hypothesis testing, and chi-square tests. Features multivariate ordination methods including non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS), principal component analysis (PCA), redundancy analysis (RDA), distance-based redundancy analysis (db-RDA), and hierarchical cluster dendrograms. Computes alpha diversity metrics, species accumulation curves, water quality index (WQI) values, heavy metal ecotoxicological contamination indices, correlation heatmaps, and Mantel test network linkages. Offers specialized environmental visualizations including Sankey diagrams, Likert plots, circular bar charts, and longitudinal time-series with uncertainty ribbons. Methodological formulations for multivariate permutation tests follow Anderson (2001) . Ecological community dissimilarity transformations follow Legendre and Gallagher (2001) , and ecotoxicological contamination index models follow Tomlinson et al. (1980) . authors: - family-names: Ali given-names: Ataher email: ataher.cu.ms@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0009-0008-8780-0903 - family-names: Alam given-names: Mohammed Shahidul email: alamms@cu.ac.bd orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2740-5908 preferred-citation: type: manual title: 'aquats: Robust Ecological and Fisheries Data Analysis and Visualization' authors: - family-names: Ali given-names: Ataher email: ataher.cu.ms@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0009-0008-8780-0903 year: '2026' notes: R package version 1.2.0 doi: 10.5281/zenodo.22885026 url: https://github.com/Ataher76/aquats repository: https://cran.r-universe.dev repository-code: https://github.com/Ataher76/aquats commit: e5e1bd104a7fa9e3b10ca5a6cb161ab58fbab463 url: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.22885025 date-released: '2026-10-21' contact: - family-names: Ali given-names: Ataher email: ataher.cu.ms@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0009-0008-8780-0903
