Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01451 (-0.09560 - 0.12461), b=2.87 (2.80 - 2.94), based on LWR estimates for species & family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; Based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=1.00-1.60).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (12 of 100) .
