Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 6.9 - 14.1, mean 10.3 °C (based on 75 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5039 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00661 (0.00225 - 0.01943), b=2.95 (2.71 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
