Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (संदर्भ 123201): 20.2 - 26.6, mean 25.7 °C (based on 17 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (संदर्भ 82804):  PD50 = 0.5010   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00049 (0.00024 - 0.00099), b=3.26 (3.10 - 3.42), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
