Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 20.3 - 24.8, mean 23.2 °C (based on 57 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01047 (0.00502 - 0.02185), b=3.06 (2.89 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
