Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 15.3 - 23.6, mean 17.9 °C (based on 331 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01622 (0.00723 - 0.03638), b=2.92 (2.74 - 3.10), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
