Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 10.3 - 27.5, mean 24.3 °C (based on 228 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5312   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02239 (0.00954 - 0.05253), b=2.93 (2.72 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278):  3.9   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
