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=0.01140 (-0.16151 - 0.18432), b=3.04 (2.94 - 3.13), based on LWR estimates for this family-BS (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.45 se; Based on food items.
Resilience (Ref.
69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100) .
