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=0.00940 (-0.20636 - 0.22516), b=3.03 (2.91 - 3.15), based on LWR estimates for this family-BS (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.5 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 vulnerability (17 of 100) .
