Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.00692 (0.00448 - 0.01067), b=3.12 (2.99 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
3.7 ±0.2 se; based on diet studies. |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (tmax=11; K=0.21-0.27;). |
