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=0.02668 (-0.14926 - 0.20262), b=2.91 (2.81 - 3.00), based on LWR estimates for this family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (31 of 100) .
