Correlations (Spearman’s r) between assemblage and abiotic environmental variables.

  Temperature Dissolved oxygen Conductivity Turbidity pH Rainfall
Species richness 0.38 −0.03 −0.49 −0.11 0.48 −0.31
Total abundance 0.04 0.1 0.03 0.14 0.07 0.1
Species diversity 0.47 0.27 −0.57 −0.62* 0.5 −0.62
Species evenness 0.57 0.14 −0.72* −0.47 0.65* −0.61

Correlation values in bold are significant at P < 0.05. Shannon’s species diversity, and Pielou’s evenness index were used.
