Estimates based on models
Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref.

50 = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01349 (0.00511 - 0.03560), b=3.05 (2.83 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Weerstandsvermogen (Ref.
