Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 20.4 - 26.9, mean 24.7 °C (based on 176 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00562 (0.00269 - 0.01173), b=3.06 (2.87 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
