Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02344 (0.00884 - 0.06214), b=2.86 (2.62 - 3.10), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.5 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
