Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 23.6 - 28.9, mean 27.5 °C (based on 920 cells).
Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
