Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
115969): 28.1 - 28.9, mean 28.6 (based on 12 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00943 - 0.04220), b=2.93 (2.75 - 3.11), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Resilience (Ref.
