Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 21.7 - 29.1, mean 27.5 °C (based on 25528 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.

Nível Trófico (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.38 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 1.3 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1
growth studies.
