Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 15.7 - 23.8, mean 18 °C (based on 215 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00525 (0.00246 - 0.01120), b=3.04 (2.85 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Τροφικό Επίπεδο (Ref. 69278):  4.0   ±0.4 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 3.3 (2.5 - 4.4) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 11 growth studies.
Ελαστικότητα (Ref. 120179):  Μεσαίο(α), ελάχιστος χρόνος για διπλασιασμό πληθυσμού 1,4 - 4,4 έτη (tm=1-2; tmax=12).
