Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01047 (0.00339 - 0.03236), b=3.06 (2.81 - 3.31), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.3 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months ().
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
