Estimates based on models
Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref.

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01175 (0.00468 - 0.02950), b=2.97 (2.78 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.

Nível Trófico (Ref.
69278): 2.9 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliência (Ref.
