Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 5.7 - 15.3, mean 9.2 °C (based on 870 cells).
Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0020   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00309 (0.00142 - 0.00675), b=3.14 (2.94 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278):  4.1   ±0.4 se; based on diet studies.
