Estimates based on models
|
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.00933 (0.00485 - 0.01796), b=3.08 (2.90 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
4.0 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
| Generation time | 6.3 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies. |
|
