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=0.00824 (-0.15955 - 0.17603), b=3.10 (3.01 - 3.19), based on LWR estimates for this family-BS (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.5 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tm=2-4).
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate vulnerability (37 of 100) .
