Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 1.9 - 4.6, mean 2.7 °C (based on 3628 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00437 (0.00170 - 0.01121), b=3.10 (2.88 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
