Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00175 (-0.17164 - 0.17514), b=2.97 (2.87 - 3.07), based on LWR estimates for species & family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.7 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): High vulnerability (63 of 100) .
