Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 12.2 - 27.1, mean 19.4 °C (based on 1424 cells).
Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7510   [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. 93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278):  4.2   ±0.51 se; based on food items.
Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179):  laag, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd 4,5-14 jaar (Assuming tmax>10).
