Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.

Niveau trophique (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Generation time: 4.2 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1
growth studies.
Résilience (Ref.
