Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
115969): 13.7 - 19.8, mean 15.3 °C (based on 143 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00854 - 0.04661), b=3.00 (2.79 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.50 se; based on food items.
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (31 of 100) .
