Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.03157 (-0.09259 - 0.15573), b=2.87 (2.79 - 2.94), based on LWR estimates for species & family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.6 se; Based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (46 of 100) .
