Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 12.9 - 22.1, mean 16.1 °C (based on 13 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00794 (0.00362 - 0.01742), b=2.81 (2.63 - 2.99), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
