Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 12.4 - 23.5, mean 17.8 °C (based on 262 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02188 (0.00844 - 0.05670), b=2.98 (2.75 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
