Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5664 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01202 (0.00464 - 0.03116), b=3.01 (2.79 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.26 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months ().
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
