Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 24.7 - 29.2, mean 27.1 (based on 236 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.37 se; Based on food items.
Generation time: 4.8 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median LN(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (K=0.227; tmax=10; tm=2; Fec = 73,363).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100) .
