> Cichliformes (Cichlids, convict blennies) > Cichlidae (Cichlids) > Geophaginae
Etymology: Biotodoma: Greek, biotos, ou = life, existence + Greek, domos = house (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: The etymology is not explained, but perhaps named for Cupid, the Roman god of love and desire; or generically meaning ‘desire’ or ‘longing’, perhaps alluding to the desirable nature of its attractive appearance in life. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01950 (0.01075 - 0.03538), b=3.06 (2.91 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (tm<1).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Biotodoma cupido (Heckel, 1840)
