Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02286 (-0.13127 - 0.17699), b=3.00 (2.92 - 3.09), based on LWR estimates for this genus-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.1 se; Based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=1.13).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (12 of 100) .
