SPECIES DIVERSITY IN POOL AND RIFFLES OF A LOTIC TROPICAL SYSTEM Abstract This study looked at species adaptations to different substrate type‚ current velocity‚ dissolved oxygen and depth that allows for the specialized utilization of the microhabitats found and how this was responsible for similarities and differences in species diversity in pools and riffles. The riffle was seen as the more diverse mesohabitat. Of the 47 species found‚ the riffle had 37 of these organisms present. The
