Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 26.7 - 28.8, mean 27.9 °C (based on 316 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.

50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00324 (0.00148 - 0.00710), b=3.08 (2.90 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
