Etymology: monicae: Named for Mônica Toledo-Piza Ragazzo for her initiative and effort in publishing the drawings
of Wallace which were a great service to science, and also for decisiveness in identifying the new species.
Eponymy: Dr Mônica Toledo-Piza Ragazzo is a Brazilian zoologist and ichthyologist at Universidade de São Paulo where she is a Professor in the Department of Zoology. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01380 (0.00659 - 0.02894), b=3.07 (2.89 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.8 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (23 of 100).
