Life-history values and sources used to estimate rmax for the nine species of shovelnose rays.

Including the maximum size (Lmax in centimetres total length, cm TL), lower, upper and mean (standard deviation, S.D.) values of the age at maturity (αmat, years), lower and upper values for litter size, breeding interval (i, years), lower and upper annual reproductive output of females (b), lower and upper values for von Bertalanffy growth coefficient (k, year-1), the observed, and lower (Tlower) and upper (Tupper) and mean (S.D.) values of theoretical maximum age (αmax, years). See Table 1 in S1 Appendix for re-estimated k results for R. australiae and G. typus.
