Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01012 (-0.11778 - 0.13801), b=3.10 (3.01 - 3.18), based on LWR estimates for species & family-BS (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 2.9 ±0.34 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 (25 of 100) .
