Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 15.3 - 19.9, mean 16.7 °C (based on 42 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00331 (0.00170 - 0.00646), b=3.15 (2.97 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Fec assumed to be <100).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100) .
