Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00694 (-0.12249 - 0.13637), b=3.07 (2.99 - 3.15), based on LWR estimates for species & family-BS (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.5 se; Based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref.
69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): High to very high vulnerability (66 of 100) .
