Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabit forest clear-water streams running down slopes, with much reduced flow, and abundant forest litter (Ref. 9088). Eggs are deposited on leaves and guarded by both parents; larvae are taken into the mouth (Ref. 40602).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02042 (0.00927 - 0.04498), b=3.11 (2.92 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming Fec<1000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
