Eponymy: Not a true eponym as this is after a character in Greek mythology; Procne (sometimes Progne – see below), a daughter of King Pandion of Athens. She was metamorphosed into a swallow. The name is used for species which have some ‘swallow-like’ attribute. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00242 - 0.01036), b=3.11 (2.92 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.8 ±0.28 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (tmax=3).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
