Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00617 (-0.15112 - 0.16346), b=3.05 (2.96 - 3.14), based on LWR estimates for this family-BS (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 2.9 ±0.3 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100) .
