Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.00295 (0.00133 - 0.00656), b=3.18 (3.01 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
3.3 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). |
