Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 9.6 - 18.6, mean 11 °C (based on 159 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.

50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00575 (0.00278 - 0.01190), b=3.11 (2.93 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
