Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 10.6 - 19.5, mean 14.3 °C (based on 29 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00891 (0.00329 - 0.02416), b=3.00 (2.76 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
